The loose head prop has started all 23 games for England this year, and Matt (on a scholarship at Loughborough University, where he is a 1st XV regular) is hoping to get a break at the top level.

Matt hadn't even played rugby until he attended Brighton College, and so we are particularly proud of his rapid developement since then.

Our first game was against Esher who run a regular 7s squad and were expected to do well at the tournament.

We lost 12 points to 5 but considering many of our team had not played together before it was a good performance and the opinion from the touchline was that we were in for a good day of 7s. Our next pool game was against Burgess Hill and again the Pelicans put themselves through a gruelling warm up programme... actually they wandered on to the pitch and beat Burgess Hill by 50 points to 5!
