Training

Pennyhill Park Hotel is the chosen training base for the team until the finish of the 2011-12 season. Loughborough University, Bisham Abbey and the University of Bath grounds served as training bases prior to this agreement. Martin Johnson noted the hotel's facilities and its proximity to Twickenham and Heathrow as deciding factors in this decision.^[98] The team had their own pitchside gym and fitness rooms constructed on the hotel premises at the start of the long-term arrangement.
