Age (on 1st April 2015): 17
Age when first played rugby:13, Westlake 5A
Key assets on the field: Tackling, scrumming
Pre-match routines:
Best game you ever played in: Massey at North Harbour stadium, really good vibe, and it was my first season game in a stadium, and my first full match for the 1st XV
Rugby player who inspires me the most: Fumiaki Tanaka, even though he is one of the smallest players in super 15 and is beaten to the starting jersey by Aaron Smith, he is a humble and positive influence to the highlanders side. He is a small man with a mighty heart
The thing I am most looking forward to about the USA trip is: I look forward to experiencing rugby in the USA as it should be a different style to rugby in New Zealand. Along with this I look forward to being in USA for the first time.
Last song I listened to on my iPod: Kid Ink - Hell & back
If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life it would be: Chocolate Brownies
