Anyone for rugby?

Quite a boring blip but topical today. It is a glimpse of the pitch at the Lensbury where the England rugby team have been training this week in a ‘bubble’ ready for their match against the Barbarians at Twickenham tomorrow ( now cancelled as lots of the Barbarian team members went for a night out and left their bubble!)
I’m sure the England team will not be amused as they would have wanted some match practice before the Six nations matches.
I am impressed with the way the Lensbury has organised their whole site to keep the rugby players away from the members. They have a separate entrance and car park and all of the hotel rooms and the whole conference centre has been given over to the England team. Apparently there are 20 Lensbury staff who are in the bubble with them, looking after them.
They have a separate gym and the big marquee in the photo also has more equipment for training.
They are usually based at Pennyhill Park Hotel in Surrey which has rugby training facilities so I’m not sure why they are not there now.
