How to improve training When are they ?

Remaining Rugby Ambitions To get the purple shorts and still score from 5m out

Miscellaneous Least Admired International Players Taffs
Shouldn’t mention, After constantly taking the mick out of "girlie" backs who got hamstring pulls, Mark got one himself.
Distinguishing Features Unique ears resulting from years of scrummaging…….. "but damn good looking according to my mum".
Interesting Fact "Played with Clive Woodward for the County Colts on the Sunday. The day before, he had played for Harlequins 1sts and I had played for Witney 3rds !"
Strange but true Mark played for the County Schools, on the wing
