Nation asked to get knitting

■RUGBY ENGLAND Rugby stars Abby Dow and Tatyana Heard have called upon the nation to show its support of the Red Roses as they aim for World Cup glory on home soil this summer.

Dow and Heard are leading a creative initiative inviting youngsters to get into rugby union and back the England team by contributing to spectacular Red Rose yarn art takeovers across the country.

A sea of knitted and crochet rugby themed artwork is expected to be displayed across community rugby clubs, host cities, and local communities, and Red Roses winger Dow is encouraging the nation to get involved with their local project.
