Meet the Guy’s Hospital rugby squad
Saving lives and scoring tries
It’s a rarity that the people of Guy’s campus get much of a look in in The Tab. Perhaps this is due to our full timetables dedicated to improving the lives of others. Maybe it’s because of the bitter healthcare vs. humanities rivalry across the two campuses. Most likely it’s because of our dire English skills, and inability to string together a cohesive sentence on paper.
Whichever of these is true, this article gives you a chance to get a closer look at the Guy’s Hospital Rugby squad which will be turning out in this Wednesday’s Macadam Cup.
