Joel had a incredible 98 consecutive starts for Brighton which came to and end after rolling his ankle in the warm up of what would have been his 99th cap. 31 year old Forward missed the last couple of games in the close to the 2017/18 league campaign with a spate of injuries. A rest for Forward and his players over the summer should see them come back refreshed for Pre Season training which starts on Tuesday 3rd July. There is some additional strength and conditioning sessions which will start on 4th June at Brighton Rugby Club, all are welcome.
