Leeds Carnegie : Academy : Barrow out to impress against Italians

Barrow missed last week's win over Scotland through injury but he has been cleared to return this week. He will be joined in the side by club team mates Chris Walker and Tommy Bell and says that the challenge has been laid down by the team from last week's opening weekend win.

He said, "They guys did great last week to get us off to a winning start and it is up to the team this week to keep that momentum up. We have got a World Championship this summer and all the players know that competition is going to be really strong for that so your performances in the Six Nations are crucial."

The Leeds Carnegie Under 15 produced an unbeaten performance last Monday in the Northern Academies Under 15 tournament at Broadstreet RUFC in Coventry.

Leeds Carnegie trio of Chris Walker, Tommy Bell and Dom Barrow have all been named in the England Under 20 squad to fly to South Africa this summer for the IRB Junior World Championship.

In what can only be described as hideous weather conditions Leeds Carnegie Junior Development Squad Under 15's played against Sale and Newcastle at West Park Leeds in preparation for the Premiership Academies 12's on Bank Holiday Monday.
