She said: "Dwain has been out visiting schools with us and he's gone down absolutely brilliantly – he's a great speaker.
"He gives a presentation at their assembly and is very honest about the mistakes he's made and how he's learned from them, putting it in a way which makes it relevant to the children."


Working with local schools like this lies at the heart of the club's community work – consider it a case of catching them young and they'll stick with you.
There are schemes aimed at both primary and secondary schools, plus link-ups with local amateur rugby clubs, re-establishing a relationship which has traditionally been a big benefit to the club.


Primary schools can be involved in a tag rugby programme, involving players visiting the schools as well as opportunities for pupils to visit the ground on match days for training, lunch and to play in a curtain raiser before the first-team game.
There are similar programmes for secondary schools, working with year seven, eight and nine students and running inter-school festivals for each year group.


During the school holidays there are rugby camps, catering for around 35 children in different age groups each day, while dance camps are another very popular holiday activity.
Dance workshops also take place in term time, again giving participants the opportunity to perform on a match day, while both dance and rugby training form part of the lunchtime club schools programme.


Thousands of young people have taken part in these activities in recent years, helping cement a firm relationship between the club and the community.
