England rugby player James Haskell has taken time our of his grueling pre-season training with club side Wasps to coach some of Maidenhead's future rugby stars.

Haskell, 23, who played for Maidenhead Rugby Club until the age of 18 was down at the club headquarters, Braywick Park yesterday as he launched his Young Guns rugby academy.

More than 70 kids between the ages of 11 and 17 have signed up for the four day course which involves specialist coaching that will enable the youngsters to develop their rugby strengths and improve on weaknesses using the latest technology.

Hear an audio interview with Haskell from the launch, above.
