“The tour, although it was great fun, certainly inspired my year to try and better ourselves.
The team spirit and sense of camaraderie is something that you will never experience again so make the most of it!!
We returned a stronger, more confident side. This resulted in us having an unbeaten season and in me proudly captaining Campion to our Daily Mail Cup victory at Twickenham. It is the greatest time for friendships and your rugby careers and you will return with a lifetime of memories. ”
