They were getting ready to play rugby. Blythe and her friends are not only UCLA students but part of the UCLA women?s rugby team.

Right now all Willemse wants to do is enjoy his rugby and try to become a regular in the Lions’ Super 14 team. The squad reconvened this week after a few weeks’ break and are hard at work preparing for the Super 14 kickoff in just over a month’s time.
