Why your sport?

I really enjoy the physical aspects of the game, along with the large variety of tactics. Especially when playing with close teammates who are also friends.

Who inspired you to get into your sport and why?

 I wouldn’t say anyone really ‘inspired’ me to get into rugby, I tried it when I was a child with a friend, enjoyed it, haven’t stopped since.

Outside the sport you play, who are your heroes and why?

My heroes are my parents, they have worked so hard to help me succeed and I am extremely grateful for that.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?

Best piece of advice I have been given is too enjoy playing and to maintain interests outside of rugby.

What do you love most about playing sport?

The thing I love most about playing rugby is the people. The people I play with, the people I’m being coached by and meeting new people is brilliant for building myself as a rugby player and a person

What would you do if you couldn’t play your sport?

I’d probably go to University full time to study radiotherapy if I wasn’t playing sport.
