Dave Francis has made quite the impact since he returned to the club at the end of last season, and he has started this season with a bang.

He helped the 1st XV to a 110-0 win over UCS on opening day, scored a try, and even enjoyed a cameo in the centres.

The big number eight first ran out at Vallis Way aged seven, but after enjoying the delights of the other clubs, he made the emotional return to his spiritual home.

We look back on the opening match, forward to a full three-match weekend at Trailfinders on Saturday, and reminisce about his early days in green.
