England will be swinging back into Rugby World Cup action this weekend when they bid to reach the final.
Let's roar them on the way with a look back at some junior Sunderland stars playing the game in years gone by.
We've got Thornhill, Castle View, Southmoor and more in scenes from 2004 to 2011.
The Echo archives have come up trumps once more.
So scrum down for another trip back in time.
