FORMER British Lions and England rugby union star Ben Clarke has handed out some expert advice to New Forest youngsters.
The ex-Bath star was at Fawley for a tag rugby festival involving six schools and more than 100 children.
Mr Clarke is employed by Innogy, which owns the power station in the Waterside town, and has spent this year taking tag rugby into schools from Newcastle in the north-east to Devon in the south-west.
He said: "Tag rugby is a great sport for kids to play because it's non-contact.
"Look at the kids here - they're all having fun, but there's a competitive
element as well because there's prizes for the winners and a fair play prize."
The tournament was won by Holy Family School who beat Blackfield Junior School 4-2 in the final.
The fair play award went to Langdown Junior School in Hythe.
