Former PRFC junior Will Spencer played for England U18 last weekend. Will is from Denmead, and went to Purbrook Park School. He started playing for Petersfield when he was 10. He captained Petersfield’s U15 & U16 side, and has represented Hampshire since U15, and has played for the London & South East Division’s U16 & U18 sides.  He is currently studying under the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence, sponsored by London Irish, at St Pauls School in Sudbury , and occasionally plays for Petersfield Colts when he can. He is hoping to get a contract with London Irish when he has finished his course. Will is pictured below playing (#19) for England U18 vs France U18 last weekend.
