A sixth form pupil at Bishop’s Stortford College has been selected to play rugby for The Lambs.
Tom Howell will link up with the team and participate in the their tour of South Africa. The Lambs team was formed to give boys the opportunity to showcase their rugby skills when they have been unable to do so, due to other commitments or lack of selection opportunities.
Tom will visit Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Hermanus and Aquila later this Spring, and the tour will include intense training sessions with elite South African and Lambs coaches. There will be matches against the best of the rising rugby stars from the World Cup winning nation, as well as visits to Table Mountain, Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated), a cheetah sanctuary, whale watching and a safari game drive.
Andre Beukes, Head of Rugby, commented: “This is not just a huge achievement and honour for Tom, but for Bishop’s Stortford College as well.”
