Success in Rugby
Our Year 7 and 8 mixed team of boys took part in the ISA England touch rugby tournament in Reigate in May, coming second overall and only losing out to a school whose main sport is rugby. Rugby at Thames is coached by Mark Bright, a professional player who was a member of the England Sevens team at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow where he helped them achieve victory over Wales in the Plate Final. As a former player for London Scottish, he was inducted into the London Scottish Hall of Fame in 2016 and in the 2016/17 season was the Rugby Players Association Championship Player of the Year.
