Adelaide-born Rhodes Scholar kicking goals with Oxford Uni

Hi all,

Back to original story, both the interviews put on roar were conducted by an aussie London-based student after our match vs. Oxford Uni a couple of weeks ago (coincidentally was our first ever 18-a-side fixture only 10 months after our first fixture in January 2010, going down 92-34 but a fantastic game and great learning curve for us).

She wrote the article on me based on a very rushed 3 or 4 minute conversation as after the match we were busy sinking the beers and forgot there was a poor lass wanting interviews from us both (myself and Sam)! As a result, loads of the facts on the article on UK as general are wrong (must have got them from ARUK website, which we know now is defunct) but the gist that things are moving in a general trend upwards is there, although all the comments seemed to tag onto the rugby rejects line which translated into text very badly!

The article on Sam though is absolute class, and no wonder they brushed us aside with 4 or 5 players of his pedigree. Don't even know how we were in the game!!

Just for reference, the full scores of the uni games that have happened so far this season in the UK:

13th Nov (9-a-side)
Cambridge University - 4.8(32) 7.13(55) 10.20(80) 10.22(82)
UoB Sharks - 5.5(34) 7.12(54) 12.16(88) 13.17(95)

20th Nov (18-a-side)
Oxford Uni - 5.2(32) 8.3 (51) 12.6(78) 14.8 (92)
Bham Uni - 2.2(14) 4.3(27) 4.3(27) 5.4(34)

Oxford & Cambridge have not played yet and will not until the new year. We are supposed to be playing Leeds Met Uni this week but unfortunately it will probably have to be cancelled due to very early snow and frozen pitches in the UK at the moment!

Cheers,
Tim Smith
