In the college's first international rugby tour of its kind for almost a decade, 42 students, led by four members of staff, are hoping to show their opponents that the British bulldog spirit is still alive and well '“ on the sporting pitch at least!

Seaford College has entertained Argentinian hockey teams in the past, but this is the first time the Seaford students will come face to face what is likely to be some formidable opposition on the rugby pitch.

The tour got under way on Saturday when the party flew out to Buenos Aires from Gatwick. There the College 1st XV and the Development XV take on opponents from Club Tiro Federal de Baradero in the City's La Boca district.
