At a special ceremony at Twickenham yesterday two former Waterloo players were finally awarded England caps by the RFU.

Dave Carfoot and Peter Buckton were awarded caps retrospectively for significant representative England fixtures they played in 1977 and 1986 respectively, now recognised as full internationals.

David was a dynamic scrum half during the 1970s and 1980s and a great servant of the Club. Peter has been a fixture here as both player, captain, coach and brilliant supporter of rugby at the Club.

Congratulations again to both - the honour is hugely deserved and we couldn't be more proud of you.
