FORMER Ledbury youngster Will Butler marked his England under-17s debut with a brace of tries in a narrow 28-26 defeat to France.
Centre Butler had an unforgettable afternoon in a tough match, as England fought back in the contest during a thrilling final 10 minutes in Bourg-en-Bresse.
The Hereford Cathedral School pupil, who is involved in the Worcester Warriors set-up, was joined in the England squad by Sixways teammates Joe Morris, Josh Nott and Zac Xiourouppa.
Butler, 16, has set his sights on reaching the Warriors senior academy, after making his Sixways men’s debut against the Army in February.
