CHESSUM CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO FACE RIVALS
OLLIE CHESSUM is ready for any stick Welsh fans can throw at him ahead of England's Six Nations clash in Cardiff.

Chessum's first experience of getting on the wrong side of the locals, by being an English rugby player in the Welsh capital, came in 2023 when he was part of England's 20-10 win.
Then, the Leicester man revealed, Wales fans were even getting stuck into the squad when they were on the coach going training on the eve of the match — and it is not just the adults.
