Rugby mad Jack Mulcahy could be forgiven for pinching himself, but stepping out with the England team at Twickenham was not a dream.

The nine-year-old, who plays for Reeds RFC near Weybridge, was a mascot at when England took on the Barbarians on May 26.

Jack said: "It was an amazing experience and I got to see behind the scenes at Twickenham.

"We had a couple of rehearsals and then got to go out with the team onto the pitch for the national anthem.

"We had a great day and I hope my experience might encourage others to come into the game.”
