Sam Higgins, an 18 year old Sixth Form student at Bolton
School, was "Back of the Tournament" on the successful
Easter tour to Zimbabwe with the Combined English and
Scottish Independent Schools' Barbarians (ISB).
The standout game of the four match tour was against the
national Zimbabwe U19s team at St John's in Harare, which the
Barbarians won 21-14. It was the first British rugby tour of
Zimbabwe for over 10 years and the boys were warmly
received.
Sam scored a try in the close encounter with the Harare Lions,
which saw the ISB narrowly lose out 22-23 and Sam scored a further
two tries in their 39-30 victory against Goshawks. The
Barbarians also beat Lomagundi College by 38-17.
The boys also found some time to help out in the local community
and provided a coaching session at the Mbare Academy for 5-12 year
olds.
