    Team profile

    When the glory of a promotion year has faded, teams across the land often find that the harsh reality of a higher division quickly sets in once the whistle blows on the new season.

    Such is the case with the University of Sussex men's first division team, who are scrambling around towards the bottom of the South Eastern Conference after a horror show of a start to their season.

    No wins in the league this season is not pretty reading and Austin's first task will be plugging a porous defence which has been shipping tries in recent weeks.

    Can Austin address the late-night takeaway student lifestyle that is costing the team dear and toughen them up into a more cohesive and difficult to beat fifteen?

    Time is of the essence for the likes of Josh "Man Bear Pig" Illingworth, Dean "Ratty" Graham, Toothless Tom and Johnny Mac The Country Gent, or the dreaded drop looks on the cards.
