Congratulations were in order, as former Exile Tomas Francis was added to the Lions squad as part of Gatland’s controversial call up over the weekend. The Welsh international spent the 2013-14 season with Scottish, before going on to join Exeter Chiefs.
Finally, The Exiles claimed their first piece of silverware of the season on Saturday, finishing as champions of the Kew Midsummer Fete Tug of War competition!
