FOX CAUGHT AT WESTS RENAULT PARKEnglish Cambridge by Steve Jackson - BBC Radio Cambridge (U11202800) 30 July 2008 Following a weekend of overdrive on the rumour mill, Cambridge RUFC announced the signing of former Saints flanker Darren Fox this afternoon. The 1.83m tall, 103 kg Peterborough-born back row is probably Cambridge`s most significant capture ever. The fact that he chose to drop down to National Two gives credence to Blood & Sand ambitions for this season - promotion is a priority, especially given the understanding that the RFU plan to tamper with the National League structures for 2009-10. Competition for places at Cambridge will be fierce, especially amongst the forwards, given the extensive recruitment campaign over the summer. So, who`s going to come out on top in National Two this season ? The debate starts here! Latest 10 commentsRead members' comments or add your own

I think the away trip to Launceston (doable there and back in a long day!) will be a belter!

cornish-DUOLLKERNEWEK-no7 (U12319950) posted Aug 1, 2008 Boschup, how many of your players come from East Angia less then we have Corish I suspect. We can field an entirely Cornish team, so I thin its alright to have a few foreigners (including English) posted Aug 1, 2008 I`m sure Mr Boschup has his own views,but Cambridge have 7 ex-Saints,7 ex-Blues (local enough?) and some home-grown players... Most are English,there are a few South Africans and an Irishman and a Welshman, not to mention the US Eagles U20s skipper,who comes from Bury St Edmunds and gets stick on international duty as he`s so "British"...
