Where it all started... Henry Slade & Luke Cowan-Dickie on their grassroots journey
Spot Sports video
Henry Slade's rugby journey started with @IvybridgeRugby Under 9s and has taken him all the way to the top, with more than 70 caps for England, not to mention @PREM-Rugby & @InvestecChampionsCup titles with @officialexeterchiefs.
England hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie's path has been very similar, winning those titles at Exeter and representing his country more than 50 times in the front row - but his starting point was with Ivybridge's south-west rivals @PenzanceNewlynRFC.
Both players - together with their former England and Exeter team-mate Jack Nowell - discuss their rugby careers and what the grassroots game taught them.
