Mims Davies was delighted to join Eastleigh Rugby Club with 23 days to go until the World Cup Tournament launch. Eastleigh RFC was selected as one of the key community clubs to host the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour. The Webb Ellis Cup tour launched on the 10th June with 100 days to go to the opening match, the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour will have travelled through Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Wales and England before arriving at Twickenham Stadium on September 18th ahead of the Opening Ceremony.
Mims says, "The weather did not dampen spirits at Eastleigh Rugby Club which had a fantastic turnout of people for their Festival of Rugby. Families and players of all ages attended, excited to get a glimpse the World Cup. It was great entertainment for the whole family, and a fun day out for the kids during the school holidays. Although the rain did not cease, players of all ages braved the weather and went ahead to compete in the tournament."
