First up we hear from 1st XV captain, Frazer Barnes. Having joined the club a few years ago Frazer has rapidly progressed through the ranks, becoming and integral part of the 1st XV. Taking up the captaincy role last season he continues the role this year and no doubt has high hopes for the upcoming season. We grabbed a minute of his time....
