Just read Millar-Mills a prop has been called up by Scotland. I'm pretty sure he was playing on loan at Chinnor last year. Clearly a good location to boost your international career. 


Millar-Mills made three appearances for Chinnor on loan last season

And one for Scotland this year.Clap....interesting period of the game to come on too...he had been picked to play against Bishops Stortford at this time last year.
I did a report of the Chinnor vs Bishop's Stortford match last season. Millar-Mills didn't get a single mention !!

Whilst on the subject of Leicester wingers I've read that Joe Browning is to leave Leicester Tigers. He scored 4 tries in a match for Chinnor, Fatbear described him as being too good for National 1 and then he disappeared off the planet (until this latest news). It will be interesting to see what he does next-hopefully not bound for the US. 


Back at Chinnor for Friday's game against Rosslyn Park !

It looks as though three of the starting backs from the Sedge game are missing, but some quality replacements. 

PS Millar-Mills again on the bench for Scotland.

From a Nat 1 relegation scrap for Chinnor just a few years ago, Elliot Millar Mills finds himself playing for Saints in an epic European semi-final win against Leinster. Great story.

Hat tip also to Henry Walker who was playing for Ealing in December. He wasn't on for long but he kept it tidy.
His opposite number on the Leinster bench was Ronan Kelleher.

My word. With the addition of the players announced today, together with the bulk of the retained players from last season, Roth are building a very powerful team which bodes well for the coming season.

Does Rotherham's ground meet Champ Criteria? After this season there will be no promotion unless your club does.

Pretty presumptuous to talk about being promoted before the season’s started.

I didn’t mention anything about presuming to be promoted. All I did was to comment that we look to have considerable strength in depth, not to mention a new attacking coach to support the DOR.

I am well aware how difficult this league is but equally aware of what Workerbee is saying, the implication being that what’s the point of winning the league if you are not going to win promotion due to failing criteria.

I have not read the criteria or whether sides need to meet criteria by a set date, which I believe happened with Worcester. 

I might be wrong on this but my understanding is that Richmond and Rotherham applied last season but Rosslyn Park didn’t. As I say that may not be correct but I recall seeing it somewhere.

Neither do I know whether Roth passed the audit or not but it became irrelevant in so far as last season was concerned.

I am not involved directly with the club but, looking from the outside, the structure seems to be at a very high level compared with before, and I would be very surprised if they didn’t meet it either now or within a required time frame.

As I said, this is not in any way presumptuous of winning the league, but as always is the case, any ambitious club has to prepare for that possibility or eventuality. Make no mistake, this is a very tough league.

For Tier 2 the minimum essential standard in relation to ground standards in 25/26 is:

• 2000 capacity
• minimum of 200 seats
• minimum of 500 covered place (including seating and/or standing) 

A simple Google search provided this information from the RFU Feb 2025 Minimum Operating Standards for entry into Tier 2 25/26 season. 
Watch Out - The Scottish Phoenix Club is on the Up!!

Seven down one to go
