A handful of youngsters from one Chiswick school stood shoulder-to-shoulder with a trio of rugby greats preparing to embark on one of the sport's most famous tournaments.
The year 10 pupils from Chiswick Community School posed alongside England captain Phil Vickery, Scotland's Simon Webster, and Wales captain Ryan Jones at a press conference this week to launch the Six Nations championship.

Their week was topped off when London Irish scrum-half Peter Richards turned up to help at a training session at the school, despite his disappointment of missing out on adding to his England caps during the tournament due to injury.
The school was given the honour thanks to its links with the Princes Trust, which works closely with the RFU.
The young Jonny Wilkinsons are hoping the extra inspiration will help them top the table at a tag rugby tournament later this month, at which the champions will win tickets to the England v Ireland match at Twickenham.
