What got you into rugby?

I started playing at school when I was really young, around 8 I think and I have gone on from there. I wasn't very good at first but then as the years got on I began to enjoy it more and more as I started to see that I had a talent within chucking an oval ball... Since then I have gone on to represent my county Middlesex and represent York at a high standard.

Weirdest/Best place you have played rugby?

Playing on the beaches of Fiji was spectacular! I was on tour with the school there and we got into a game of touch rugby with the locals who worked at the resort, they were pretty good.

If you had to go into a different sport what would it be?

Definitely Skiing. I would turn into a bum and just go from resort to resort being a ski instructor or a chalet boy or anything that involved me being near the slopes so I can ski most of the day!

If you had to choose between having claws for hands or wheels for feet what would you have? Why?

Tough question... Would have to go for the wheels for feet as it means I get places quicker than the average man. Would take some time getting used to though.
