Their former Lincolnshire clubs heaped praise on the duo
Brothers Ollie and Lewis Chessum’s journey from Lincolnshire to the England team continues to make their parents and former clubs proud.
He made his senior debut for Tigers in the Premiership fixture at Gloucester in August of that year and has never looked back, making over 40 appearances. “I am always very proud, but I am a very nervous spectator and don’t enjoy the suspense of the game and the anticipation of the result, and have all sorts of emotions as a rugby mum.
“Lots of people know about them in Sleaford and people say they’ve been following the boys. We go to Kesteven Rugby Club regularly and there is stuff on the club wall of Ollie.”Their father Paddy Chessum, who is a big Leicester Tigers fan, said: “It’s absolutely unbelievable. Credit to the lads, they’ve done it all themselves.
“It is also brilliant for Lewis. Out of the two, Ollie has always been the natural athlete. With Lewis being so tall, and a bit clunky and clumsy, he has worked so hard to develop into the player he is and all his hard work has paid dividends.” “When Lewis has had a game he’s always interested in Oliver’s input into what he’s doing. Lewis looks up to Oliver a lot and they are close, and for me as a parent it is nice they’ve got one another.
Lewis is continuing his development at Tigers, while Ollie is returning to the club on Monday, April 3 to start his rehabilitation programme and recovery from a broken fibula and ankle, and the brothers will keep supporting one another during their careers. “Ollie is also an example to all because he was a late from a rugby perspective and has worked hard to get to where he is. We all hope that he recovers quickly from his current injury and makes the World Cup squad and if not, he’s always welcome to come and watch the games at the club!”
