| England's Mike Ford Has A
Day With The Pirates | | | | 30th
November 2007 Mike Ford, an assistant coach with
England at the recent Rugby World Cup, spent a day this week visiting the Cornish
Pirates at their Mennaye Field training base.  | Now
42years of age, the former Rugby League scrum-half who played 10 times for Great
Britain was invited to provide some coaching by Cornish Pirates head coach Jim
McKay, who is a close friend Mike hung up his boots as player-coach
at Oldham in 2001, was a year later appointed as Ireland's defence coach, and
then had a spell working at Saracens. Having coached the
successful midweek British & Irish Lions side in 2005, Mike joined the England
senior team in 2006. | Mike

commented:
"Mike's a good friend of mine and he's come down and done
a bit of development work with us coaches and also done a few sessions with the
players. It's good that he has been able to add some input to the team."
