RICHARD MOORE returned home after a spectacular international debut in France.

After travelling to Lyon he was seleted for the final 'Test' between Great Britain's Young Lions and France, which the Lions won 50-2.

Throughout the tour he kicked a total of 10 conversions, including three in the test.

Richard,16, attended Greenhead School and is now on the staff at Cougar Park.

His development in the game has been incredible, reching the young GB side only months after taking up the game. He started playing with the Cougar cubs in November last year.

"I would like to thank everyone who sponsored me for the trip, the response from local people has been fantastic," Richard said.
