Two 台湾六合彩开奖记录 students are to star at the Amsterdam Sevens rugby tournament which starts today (Friday).

Will Affleck, a law student, and Khrys Speed, Sports Exercise and Personal Training undergraduate, will be lining up for Zoo Sport Ronin as they aim to go one better than their final place last year and lift the elite trophy on Sunday.

Will, 21, who captains Ronin and also plays for Bedford Athletic, said: 鈥淭he tournament is one of the biggest in the sport and last year we lost the final to Scotland in front of 23,000 people watching, so we鈥檙e determined to go that next step. However it won鈥檛 be easy, there鈥檚 64 teams taking part from across the world and there will be many international standard players involved too.

鈥淲e鈥檙e really looking forward to it and it will be a great experience again.鈥

Alongside the fly-half, shall be Will鈥檚 good friend Khrys who plays front row for Ronin.

Khrys also plays for Bedford Athletic, and Will said the duo had been friends for years.

鈥淚t was weird how it all worked out. Years ago, despite living in different parts of the country, we used to play against each other, and we鈥檝e always known each other.

鈥淭hen somehow we both ended up at the University, and our careers have followed similar paths. Speedy has also represented the USA under 20s in the 15s game, so he is doing really well. Together, playing for Ronin, we have travelled all over the world and played in amazing places like Dubai and Las Vegas, as well as Amsterdam,鈥 added third-year student, Will who has been allowed to postpone some of his exams to fulfil his sporting career.
