Views from camp

Simon Middleton on Lydia/Rowena: "Lydia has been an important part of our team for a long time and it’s fitting for her to reach this milestone at the stadium and club she’s always called home.

"It’s been great to have Rowena back in the squad. She’s an incredibly tough and combative player and we need those types in our team. She’s also an incredibly versatile player who can play in the second row or at flanker which is a huge benefit in any team. It’ll be a special and proud day for both players and their loved ones."
