      It is not even a Rugby ball!! It is the ball they use in the soft version known as American Football!!!

    I ‘d two of those Steelers in my Rectory for three months. Not an entirely unpleasant spell.

    This story is pretty inaccurate – whilst the part about the Steelers 15s side is correct, it completely ignores the real winners and runners up in the 10s competition.

    In actual fact, the 10s final was contested by ‘Los Valents’ of Montpellier and the ‘Bristol Bisons’. I should know, as I was a playing member of the Bisons side, which lost to Montpellier in the final.

    The KXRFC 10s team actually came 3rd in the 10s competition after beating Les Coqs Festifs in their playoff game.

    The KXRFC 10s team were beaten by both Bristol and Montpellier much earlier in the 10s competition.

    Would it be too much to ask to have this story updated to accurately describe the actual result of the 10s competition?
