Ealing Trailfinders are delighted to announce the signing of exciting winger Eparama Rokodrava on a long-term deal.

Eparama was part way though his first season with Wasps but has now made the move over to Trailfinders and has already begun training with the squad.

Despite being only 18 years of age, Eparama weighs in at 114kg and is 1.87m tall. He came through the rugby programme at the City of Oxford College and has represented England U18 and was part of an England U20 training camp earlier this year.

Despite still being relatively new to pro-rugby, Eparama is a very exciting young talent. His skill set is superb, with an incredible offloading game, pace to burn and an impressive level of physicality, everyone at the club is excited to see him run out in green and white.

When speaking about his move to Ealing, Eparama said: “I’m thrilled to have joined Ealing at such an exciting time for the club.

“From all the discussions that I’ve had with everyone here, I’ve been really impressed by the ambition of the club, especially as it matches my own and I’m eager to get started.”

Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “We’re really pleased to have secured the signing of one of the most exciting prospects in English rugby.

“Some of the attributes and the skillset he poses can’t be taught, and although he’s not the finished article just yet, we’re really excited to see how he progresses in the future.”

We had a number of our Ealing Trailfinders Women Academy players on loan at various clubs over the weekend.

Cassie Tuffnail, Maddie Blackwell, Jo Bucknell and Eva Bannette all played for Richmond Women on Sunday against Thurrock Ladies. Cassie started at tight-head, backing up from her player of the match appearance last weekend at Beckenham, while Maddie, Jo and Eva all made impacts off the bench in Richmond’s bruising 7-12 defeat at the Athletic Ground.

Meanwhile over at Henley Hawks Women (pictured above), Emily O’Brien started at inside centre on her debut, while Renae Baker scored a sensational try off the wing, kick, chasing and collecting to score. Flo Kirsten-Foster came on at outside centre and Annabell Luntz continued her positional change, making a positive impact off the bench at blindside flanker. The final score finished Henley Hawks 29 – Beckenham Ladies 29.

Over the A3 we had our first partnership game at Wimbledon Women with lock Lizzie Marriot getting her first chance at Women’s Championship 2 in their 36-7 win over Canterbury.

Charlotte Shepherd, Molly Brown, Abbie Hatherall, Tamara Morrison and Jada Allen all contributed to Chobham’s hard-fought last minute win against NC1 rivals Oxford Quins, with Izzy Fisher featuring in her third match of the season.

With just one player in loan action this weekend, hear how Ollie Fox got on against Hull RUFC.

Hull RUFC 22-27 Leeds Tykes

Scrum-half Ollie Fox returned to his hometown club, Leeds Tykes, at the weekend as he started for them in their victory at Hull.

Given the competition and strength at 9, Ollie has struggled for minutes this season, and so the trip back home was a chance for him to get some important game time ahead of our next block of fixtures.

The game was a typical Yorkshire derby, free flowing, entertaining and hard hitting. At the break Leeds were ten points up, but Hull did well to fight back and level it up at 22-all with 10 minutes remaining, before Leeds scored a last minute try to grab the encounter.

Ollie played well, with crisp, quick passing throughout the game and strong support lines whenever there was a line break. He won multiple turnovers in open play, as well as making crucial tackles which all helped deliver Leeds the victory.

 

The weekly round-up of all the loan and dual-registered Trailfinders.

London Scottish 32-46 Coventry

There was just one player in loan action this weekend, as David Douglas Bridge started on the blindside for London Scottish as they faced Coventry at the Athletic Ground.

Coming into the game Coventry had been in reasonable form, with two wins over Ampthill and Bedford Blues, however the midlanders hadn’t beaten the Exiles at the RAG in the league for 24 years so it was always going to be an interesting encounter!

After 15 minutes the Exiles were 19-0 up, but the visitors responded well and went into the break 22-24 ahead. Although Scottish fought well throughout, Coventry pulled away in the last 20 minutes and ran out 32-46 winners.

Bridge worked tirelessly throughout the game, carrying well but also doing a lot of the unseen work on the floor and in defence.
