Rob Hill made his debut for England Deaf on 06/03/04 against the Welsh at Newbury which England won 14-11. Rob and the squad had a great night afterwards as they had just beaten the World Champions. .Also it was the first time that his mum who is no longer with us saw him play for the very first time. A pretty good start, watching your son for the first time ever and it’s for his country against the World Champions.

Rob says that there is no better feeling than playing for his country. He finds the anthems very emotional. (Editor’s Note, I had the privilege of watching Rob and England play Scotland last season and even as a proud Scot I felt rather emotional watching Rob stand proud for his anthem.)

So far Rob has 10 England caps and this season has been invited into the Barbarians Squad.

Not only does Rob travel down from Oxfordhire to play for the Stones but he also finds time to play for Chinnor and coach their Juniors.
