Best Rugby moment
Think it might just have to be playing in the final of the Dubai 7s, where the 25,000 crowd were chearing for the underdogs!
Worst Rugby moment
Breaking my arm playing rugby league (well if I would play that game!)
Rugby ambition
To become a regular 1st XV player and make some great tackles
Why rugby
I bumped into a few male and female Harlequin players whilst having a quiet (?!?) drink in The Sun Inn, who persuaded me to try rugby. I wanted to get fit, so thought I'd give it a go, and now i wish i'd started years ago
