24th October 2019 Dear Jeremy |
South Africa take on an experienced and well-oiled machine in the form of Wales on Sunday in the Rugby World Cup semi-final. We would like to wish the springboks and OD Francois Louw (2003W) good luck for the match which takes place in Yokohoma, Japan. |
Fellow OD, Matthew Pearce (1987G), sat down with Francois before the show piece to find out what it means to play in two separate World Cups and on having one last final crack at the Holy Grail for a third time. Read the full article in Issue 4 of The Old Diocesan. Should you wish to receive a hard copy magazine please forward your name, house, final year and postal address to [email protected]. Matthew Pearce will be the guest speaker at the launch of Issue 4 on 13 November. To RSVP, please click on the button below. |
Kind regards, The OD Office |
