Coach’s Comment

I have had the pleasure of being Matt’s coach for over 5 years – in this time I have seen him develop from a very “hot headed" individual to the most exciting, committed and talented rugby player of his age.His attitude and focus on his game have no bounds, giving 150% in every aspect of his play. A total inspiration to the team, and someone who makes coaching worth while!! I’m sure with his current aptitude he be successful in both his future life and rugby career - I only hope he remembers us when he plays for England - we expect some free tickets!
