To celebrate the decade-long relationship, the players and staff took a team bonding trip to Myrtle Farm at the end of the first block of pre-season training to learn all about their great tasting ciders.

Director of Rugby Stuart Hooper said: “A huge thanks to Martin and all the staff at Thatchers for putting on such an amazing day.

“After the past 18 months of disrupted socials, it’s great to come together like this to enjoy a beautiful part of Somerset.”

Homegrown back row Tom Ellis added: “It was brilliant for us to get together in a social setting which is a bit more relaxed and enjoy each other’s company.

“To end the first block of pre-season with an event our partner Thatchers put on for us was great of them. We all managed to taste loads of great cider and also learn lots; there’s a lot more to it than I ever realised!

“Thank you to Thatchers and we’re really excited for the season to start.”

Happy 10-year Anniversary, Thatchers Cider!
