Carrick set for Sahara challenge

PREMIERSHIP assistant referee Nigel Carrick is in training to take on the gruelling Marathon des Sables ‘ultra-marathon’ for the Matt Hampson Foundation.
This April, instead of running the line in top rugby matches, Carrick will take on six marathons in five race days, the longest being about 52 miles long.
