Memory Lane

Away from the action, resident club stats guru Kevin Millar (@topofthemoongw) provided a look back at two famous moments in the club’s professional history.

A deep dive into the stats behind Pete Horne’s hat-trick against Cardiff Blues in 2015 was followed by a piece marking six years since the Warriors lifted the famous Ladies Cup at the Melrose 7s.

Social distancing measures may mean that birthdays are hard to properly celebrate right now, but that didn’t stop the Wilsons helping the van der Merwe’s to properly mark a special occasion..
