David Chambers, Rugby Development Officer at the University, says it will be ‘an unforgettable experience’ for all involved
The prospect of a tour to Canada – the first in over 40 years – has really ignited enthusiasm among the whole senior squad. We had a brilliant season winning club of the year 2022 and have big ambitions to achieve even more in the 22-23 season. It will be an unbelievable experience for the squad of 44 players and there could be no better way for players and coaches to prepare for the incoming year
