A Little About Me
My name is Ben and i've been a lifelong rubgy fan. Starting my playing career at school as Prop and moving to second row. I've been a Leicester Tigers fan for as long as I can remember (but don't worry this isn't going to be a bias newsfeed dedicated to Tigers).
This is the first of our daily news updates bringing you a curated digest of the latest articles from rugby news websites that we found interesting and you might too.
I'm always looking to improve so if you've got any suggestions on content, categories or anything else feel free to drop us an email at hello@rugbysocial.co.uk with your feedback. Excuse the dodgy picture of me at the England Vs Italy game I'd just gotten hold of the 4 pint carry out of Guinness.
