They are normally getting stuck into scrums and line-outs and picking up loose balls, but now the stars of Bristol Bears rugby team have got their hands dirty picking up rubbish on Horfield Common.
Head coach Pat Lam corralled a group of players to join 20 school children from Horfield CofE Primary School and Bristol Waste’s litter pickers to send a message to people in Bristol that litter all over the city’s streets and parks is their responsibility - not just the council’s.
The group of players met up after training and linked up with the local schoolkids at the Ardagh Community Trust, along with Cllr Kye Dudd, the man in charge of the city’s waste services.
