For this edition's player profile we're going to focus on the try-scorer of this year's Varsity fixture against Manchester Medics at Sale FC stadium, Sam McMeekin. Age: 20 years, 6 months and 17 days Date of Birth: 8/05/91 Birthplace: Bath, the home of the prosperous Position: 15, 13 & wherever the call of duty takes me Height: 6'1" Weight: 83kg This season's try count: 9 (3 braces without converting to a hatrick... painful) Favourite Rugby Club: Timsbury, A quaint Somerset village that has won Village in Bloom on several occasions, quite an accolade! Favourite Night Club: Halo.... any more stupid questions?! Favourite Drink: Dark, nutty ale Favourite Dog: Rottweiler, its loyal and intelligent with a taste for blood but has a sensitive attitude for a loving family. Samuel McMeekin, tell us, how did you first get involved with LMDRUFC? Through Joe Newcombe - who recently completed the Silver social - because he was dating a netball bird, KNS, with which I share family friends. Many would say you're enthusiastic about the club, but whom would you say was the most enthusiastic? Well this is a difficult question. In terms of administrative and warm up enthusiasm, Tom Knapp; In terms of pre and post and between pre and post game enthusiasm, Josh Wanaz; In terms of wanting desire from every player in the club, Rupert Simpson. Do you find your style of rugby conducive to the way LMDRUFC play? In no way shape or form... Loosest cannon in the team, calm in D but chaos causing in attack. Tell us about your No.1 LMDRUFC moment While everyone KEEPS going on about 'THE try' against Manchester, that is not my favourite moment. As many older boys will know, Henry Walton was very big hitter. And the finest moment for me was Henry putting his weight through a helpless Yorkshire 4 player, leaving him (for all intents and purposes) utterly lifeless on the deck. I'm sure I heard a small scream as Henry took his soul to the underworld. So how did it feel scoring in front of the whole med school in Manchester? Who wouldn't have enjoyed the moment? Sure, the moment was slightly tainted by the fact after diving in the corner I threw the match ball straight into a female
