THREE Cinderford stars helped England Counties finish their tour of Romania unbeaten.

Prop Joe Smart and back row men Matt Lane and Harry Hone were all called up to represent the Red Rose as they defeated CSM Bucharest, Romania Under-23s and Romania A.

Smart was the only Cinderford man to start the 41-17 win overs Bucharest but Lane and Hone both started in the England pack in a 40-5 win over Romania A.

Lane scored England’s second try in the win before getting another just after half-time.

Counties then saw off Romania Under-23s 31-20 with Smart restored to the starting XV and Lane back on the bench.

Team manager Matt Long praised his squad with 22 of the 29 touring party new to England Counties.

"We have 12 Counties represented on the tour with the average age of our players 22,” he said.

“So we’re really pleased with how all these players have come together."
