On the Record

“I’ve said it quite a lot — there’s your life and there’s the rugby side of things. At different stages one has been brilliant and the other has been tough and then vice versa.

“There are lots of challenges that go with living abroad especially for a homebird like myself and Laura as well.

“There are two sides of it and there are ups and downs along the way but I suppose I’ll appreciate it in years to come. I’ll have another language and I’ll have done it.”
