- Superb here from Steve Hansen. At the very highest level with a huge amount on the line he is able to maintain perspective about the game. The ONLY thing that matters in school boy rugby is the character and values the game teaches and developing these has to be the priority"The nice thing was some of their guys came into our shed, and our coaching group went down to their shed to share a beer" @AllBlacks head coach Steve Hansen on the respect between New Zealand and England. #RWC2019
00:00 - Incredible that the 20 XV Capt, Fin B, has been named as a travelling reserve for Quins tonight. Only a few months out of school & as a prop that is amazing. We are all so proud @WellingtonUK @house_hill
- Dreams do come true. 2019 XV Capt (Hl) signs new deal with @Harlequins. Now time for @EnglandRugby u20 6 nations & keep grinding to push for more @premrugby games. @house_hill #deathorglory #WeAre
- Today we remember the tragic loss of Seb A-O. An incredible talent & even better person, Seb was a star on and off the pitch. He was taken far too soon. The rugby club is honoured to support @sebsfoundation as our main charity. @RichmondFC1861 @Harlequins @house_hill #WeAre
- A great moment for Rory today @londonirish confirming his @AcademyIrish future. Looking forward to seeing the rugby he goes on to play! Go well, Rory! #WeAre
- All our thoughts & prayers are with our great friends @TheBrownSSFC & all @SedberghSchool as they process the tragic loss of Henry Foster; an incredible young man taken far too soon. #DuraVirumNutrix #rugbyfamily 🕊

- Thinking of Seb and his family and friends today. Forever in our hearts. ❤️❤️❤️️ Forever in our memories. Forever in our hearts. #COYQ
- An absolute honour to be named as the number 1 English rugby school for 19/20 by @NextGenXV. Another tribute to a truly special group. Brilliant to see friends @TheBrownSSFC @MillfieldRugby @WhitgiftSport @ccolsport also gain recognition. All @WellingtonUK are very proud. #WeAreVideo: The Top 10 English School 1st XVs of 2019/20 - debated long and hard about this one! Let us know what you think nextgenxv.com/2020/08/10/vid… #FutureStars #SchoolsRugby
- The very best of luck to Fin as he represents @EnglandRugby u18s Vs @Scotlandteam this weekend. Playing international u18 rugby as an u17 is a phenomenal achievement & testament to Fin’s work ethic & character. All at @WellingtonUK, especially @house_hill, are very proud of you
