Kings went undefeated last year to claim the schools third GPS first XV premiership in five competitions.

But just one player from last year’s group returns in 2024 and coach Hugh Perrett is hoping a new crop of talented youngsters can step up and compete when the season begins on Saturday.

Overview with Hugh Perrett:

“It was an extremely talented side last year but they had to deal with a fair bit of pressure,” Perrett told Rugby News.

“They’d been successful through the age groups and there were high expectations on them so to go through and win undefeated, it was a great achievement and one they should be extremely proud of.

"Winning builds self belief in kids and if they are used to winning, they can usually find a way to win, so building a winning culture is really important.
