Johnson Calls Up Ashton and Hape
Northampton and Former Wigan Warriors Rugby League winger Chris Ashton (who wears Nike Vapor Rugby Boots) has been rewarded for his fine form this season with a place in England’s revised elite squad for the Six Nations.
Ashton currently tops the Guinness Premiership try-scoring charts this season having crossed nine times, with the 22-year-old proving to be a big hit at Franklin’s Gardens since crossing codes from Wigan Warriors.
And Ashton has been Martin Johnson’s new-look squad as an injury call-up in place of the sidelined PhilVickery.

Lovell Rugby Team Of The Year 2009
Here in the office, much debate has gone into picking the Lovell Rugby World Team Of The Year 2009. It really has been a great year for Rugby. After much deliberation, here is our team of the year:
15- Rob Kearney- Ireland
The Leinster Full Back (who wears Nike Laser 3 Rugby Boots) with a siege gun left boot. He helped Ireland win the Grand Slam, Leinster win their first Heineken cup and played outstanding for the Lions in South Africa.
14- Corey Jane- New Zealand
The Hurricanes man is more happy at Fullback, although has had a great year on the wing. He played the majority of games for the All Blacks this season and scored some really important tries. Is as good going forward as is going back, which is vital in the modern game.
