Millwall Rugby Club's name was unveiled by club members Michael Paling, Sophie Morris and David Paling, on a step at Twickenham Stadium
ahead of the RBS 6 Nations England vs France clash on Saturday.
The club
name was placed on the step as a reward for Millwall RC signing up for NatWest
RugbyForce in 2013. In total 176 clubs were awarded and saw their
name appear on the steps at the home of England Rugby.
Phil Vickery, former England prop
and World Cup winner is a supporter of the NatWest RugbyForce programme
and said: “Coming from a very small club, Bude RFC in Cornwall, I know how
important the rugby club is within the local community, and how much support
they need. NatWest RugbyForce is all about improving club
facilities to help safeguard their future. The NatWest RugbyForce club
steps at Twickenham on Saturday were a reminder of where rugby began for many
of our international players – at grassroots clubs.”
