St Laurence’s first XV coach Welmar du Plessis is thrilled with his side’s perfect 5-0 start to the AIC season but said there is a still a lot of work to do if Lauries are to finish the season as AIC premiers.

Lauries knocked off Marist in the opening round of the season and have continued to improve each week, beating Padua, Iona, Peter’s and most recently Villanova on Tuesday evening.

“The boys have put in a lot of effort over the last eight to nine months and it is good to see that the hard work is paying off,” du Plessis told Rugby News.
