-----I'm Sam. I PLAY elite rugby academy. My name is Sam and I play for saracens amateurs. So last couple days have been very intense, very hard working. Coaches are pushing us a lot. Struggled on the first day I was really tired. It's been a lot of like learning new skills, kicking and passing. It's been really intense, really. They teach us like the basics first and then we move on to like quick hands so we can like, adapt it to our game situations. So like rugby's quite like a strong passion I have, so I work hard towards it. I really like to show off my talents in rugby most of the time, and it's like one of my main hobbies. So yeah, I love it.

We bid farewell and good luck to our ERA Graduates with the words that have defined our programme: great people make great players. Go forth into the world and be the best versions of you, keep getting up off the floor when life hits you hard and never EVER give up.
You got this, we believe in you… and remember: you are FAMILY.
To ALL our current and new players in the programme…. The 2026/27 season is upon us! Get ready to work harder than you’ve ever worked before, set standards that you’ve never set before and most importantly: show the world, show your family and above all: show YOURSELF exactly who you are.
It’s time.
See you at the top. 🫡
This is the story of Connor. Passed over for selection by Saracens and ERA, he had a decision to make.
Give up ….or get up and go again.
Winning is easy, but getting knocked down and being faced with adversity telll us far more about our players. It’s moments like this that define who you really are - as a player, but more importantly as a person.
Bryony Cleall and I unpack stories like this on the new ERA Podcast — launching Friday 4 September.

Results day.
You've spent months doing the work quietly. Revision after school, early mornings, sessions when you were already tired. Nobody saw most of it. Today it's on paper.
Whatever the grades say, we're proud of you. Some of you got exactly what you wanted. Some of you didn't. Both are part of the journey.
The habits that get you through exams are the same ones that get you through a season. Show up. Do the rep. Repeat.
Congratulations, players at ERA. Enjoy today, you've earned it.

Congratulations to Nash Cohen, Reuben Flynn, Joel Pitterson Avon and Corey Wilkins.
Silver medallists at the RAN U19 Championship in Mexico.
International rugby. A silver medal. A proud moment for everyone connected to ERA.
Joel and Corey are both former ERA players, and seeing them compete on the international stage says everything about where the work can take you.
We could not be prouder of all four of you.
