IIRC Hampshire played fullback in the academy final which was switched to Headingley (can't remember the year). George was MoM and Bretherton looked good coming off the bench in 2nd half.
But mainly all through the academy, Hampshire played 6 to Williams 7

I am just repeating what I’ve been told as to why Wane moved Hampshire to fullback, as he couldn’t wrestle!
