Hilton joins charity game line up

Hilton first played for Bristol in 1990

Former Bristol prop Dave Hilton has signed up for a charity game to raise money for injured service personnel.

Hilton, 32, retired from professional rugby last season but is looking forward to facing former team-mate Mark Regan in the star-studded match.

"You've got some old familiar battles. It promises to be a fantastic game, it's going to be full-on," Hilton told BBC Radio Bristol.

The Help for Heroes game takes place at Twickenham on Saturday, 20 September.

An England XV including Regan, Martin Johnson, Lawrence Dallaglio and Phil de Glanville will face an International XV led by Scott Gibbs and featuring Hilton, Jonah Lomu and Ieuan Evans.

"Both sides will go great guns. I've never met a rugby player who goes on that pitch at 50 or 60% ," added Hilton.

"These guys are not going to come out of retirement to embarrass themselves.

"We're going to go out and give it our all because it's on a big stage for a good cause and we won't want to lose."
