Topic: Jamie Noon


  
  The Apollo: Local News, UK News and World News
Jamie Noon has recently come under a lot of criticism for his lack of flair and ambition in the midfield pairing of the England rugby team, and with Mike Tindall-the other English Centre, losing his place after the abysmal showing in Paris; some would count Noon lucky not to lose his place too.
After meeting Jamie at Fyling Hall, at a retirement party of his school rugby coach, it’s clear to see that the passion that brought him to the notice of the England team is still as strong as ever.
In spite of his clear talent, Noon puts much emphasis on the fact that he couldn’t have become as good as he is without the support of others, and he still feels he has a lot to offer to the England team in the future.

 sport.iafrica.com | today's news Noon hat-trick sees England home
Noon's first treble in senior rugby means he is only the third player in the history of rugby union's oldest international fixture, dating back to 1871, and the first at Twickenham, to score a hat-trick.
Noon's feat was all the more impressive given he only returned to the team after a four-year exile at the start of this season's Six Nations.
Robinson said: "He (Noon) was one of a number of players we didn't know much about before the start of the tournament, but he's got better and better, in both attack and defence, and capped it off with a hat-trick.

 Jamie Noon Looks to Make Big Impact || FalconsRugby.org.uk - Unofficial Newcastle Falcons News and Views
This tour could be a turning point in Noon's career, and be his opportunity to establish himself as a key player in the England set-up, having been on the fringes since making his England test debut two years ago on the 2001 North America tour with what was effectively an England A side.
Noon believes England are the "underdogs" but even so the atmosphere in the squad is "superb", the "fierce" competition for World Cup places providing the squad with additional motivation.
All Jamie Noon can do is continue to play his natural "hard running, hard tackling and working 110% for the rest of the team" game, regardless of the opposition.

 BBC SPORT | Rugby Union | Noon try was good, says O'Brien
Noon's effort was ruled out as referee Joel Jutge and video ref Christophe Berdos did not see the ball grounded.
Noon looked to have crossed just four minutes into the game at Twickenham on Sunday but All Blacks centre Ma'a Nonu claimed to have held the ball up by keeping his arm underneath it.
Noon's try would have given England a 5-3 lead and afterwards the Newcastle back claimed he was "robbed".

Noon may not be the swankiest outside centre to don the white shirt in the last quarter of a century - he is no Clive Woodward or Simon Halliday, still less a Jeremy Guscott - but what he lacks in high-rolling panache, he makes up for in honest endeavour.
Andy Robinson, the head coach of the England team, has been a fully signed-up member of the Noon Appreciation Society for a couple of years now, and it seems as though Brian Ashton, reappointed as attack coach in the aftermath of the mass back-room sackings last April, is beginning to think along similar lines.
Noon has been one of the fixed points in the world champions' midfield as their reputation has plummeted like a stone.

 RTE Sport - Irish and international rugby -Six Nations
Jamie Noon scored a hat-trick of touchdowns to claim the man-of-the-match prize as England ran in seven tries against arguably the worst Scotland team in living memory.
It was the sort of diffident slice guaranteed to shatter the confidence but if the fly-half's nerves were twitchy then the scything break he conjured up barely two minutes later was the perfect antidote.
Noon took full advantage, barging his way through Paterson and two more blue shirts to record his second try, though rarely will he encounter a softer centre in the international arena.

Hard-running centre Noon joined the Falcons in the 1998/9 season, after a letter from one of his school teachers alerted the club to a player who had been totally missed by the representative rugby system in Yorkshire.
Noon went on to graduate from Northumbria University with a sports science degree, while his on-field activity was equally successful as he made two first team appearances in his first year at the club.
England ‘A’ honours in the Churchill cup followed in 2004 as he played against Canada and scored in the final against the New Zealand Maori, while the 2004/5 season was to prove a major success as he was named joint vice captain for the Falcons.

 BBC SPORT | Rugby Union | Internationals | Noon high on England chance
There were few positives for coach, Clive Woodward, when his England side were put to the sword by a talented Barbarians outfit last weekend - but Jamie Noon was one of them.
Noon's progress owes much to the continuing support of Newcastle coach Rob Andrew, who plucked the young Goole-born player out of the relative obscurity of rugby at Whitby RUFC.
Noon toured with the England squad to North America in 2001, but he admits he has no idea of what to expect when it comes to touring with England's 'big boys'.

 Luke Who's Talking: Well Done Jamie Noon
This time last year Noon was being ridiculed by some experts who questioned his right to a place in the side probably because they met the cousin of another centre playing for a southern club at an old school friend's wedding!
Those experts should be wiping the egg off their face this week after the former target of their mockery proved to be one of the only players who could live with the mighty All Blacks on Sunday.
Given Noon's excellent form for the Falcons this season he should be a certainty to play in next summer's World Cup and could well be joined in the backs by club mates Toby Flood and Matthew Tait.

Borthwick and Sanderson were both in the England starting line-up which lost to France 17-16 on Saturday night, while Noon, Walder, Scarbrough and Green all played varying roles against Wales seven days earlier.
The majority of his squad is inked in, but back-up at centre and fly-half would appear areas still rife for debate.
