Welshpool Rugby Club players enjoyed a big treat when the former Wales and British Lions rugby star Scott Quinnell held a training session.

The 52-cap No 8 is regarded as one of the greats of his generation and shared his wisdom with senior players, Welshpool High School pupils and the club’s junior side, Welshpool Warriors.

Quinnell, 51, who played three times for the Lions, is now a well-known television personality and has been filming in the town for a new S4C series that sees relative newcomers to rugby become a team capable of playing a competitive match.

The match, which features both male and female players, will take place in Welshpool against Oswestry on December 13, with anyone welcome to watch on the day.

The club is enjoying a surge in popularity with no less than six teams featuring over 100 players pulling on the stripes to represent the club in the last week.
