The university rugby season has long been over but some UCL students are still writing some great stories in the rugby world. Alex Post, Joe Hearle and Jenny Smith have been doing everyone at UCL proud in both 15 a side rugby and 7 a side rugby.

Joe Hearle, who plays fly half for RUMS Rugby, was selected to represent English Universities in 7-a-side rugby. After being selected in May Joe and his team mates competed in the Olney 7s where they qualified and progressed to the regional tournament in Ealing. The team went on to win the regional tournament and so qualified to compete at the Secure Trading 24/7’s national final in Bath.
