Uni can be a really stressful time and rugby provides a way to escape that. Being able to go to training and meet people and see your friends and exercise is a great way to feel better about yourself, and the community that it’s provided is just amazing. We’re friends outside of training. It doesn’t just stop as soon as a session ends. We see each other and, as a fresher, it’s been a great way to meet new people.

It's a close team as well as a club in general. So we have the social aspect and we have the actual team aspect. It’s a very very welcoming team and we’ve formed a pretty nice community.

I never thought I’d join. I came on a whim and it was the best decision ever. If anyone’s questioning whether they should or are thinking about it, I think you should just do it because you don’t know unless you try and it could be the best decision you ever made, but if you don’t do it, you won’t know.
