We took the Northampton Saints and England full-back to his grass-roots club

It’s been quite the year for George Furbank. Things have gone swimmingly since he displaced Freddie Steward in England’s 15 shirt in the Six Nations. He collected a Premiership title with Northampton Saints before being named club captain for this season. So there’s no better time for the George Furbank Rugby World cover.

We took the 28-year-old back to his boyhood club, Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, for a photoshoot with clothing from bound and shoes by duke + dexter, tallying up with Furbank’s passion for fashion.

Elsewhere we look ahead to the Autumn Internationals and kickstart our brand new series The Bucket List – rugby experiences you need to do before you die.
