The weekly feature which just keeps on giving... Arron Connolly steps under the spotlight

What first bought you down to Watford Rugby Club?

I saw something happening across from my house so decided to make the long trek to see what was happening.

And what made you stay?

The fun of the game and making new friends, plus it's not too far away.

Best moment on the pitch?

That would have to be winning the cup in my first year of senior rugby.

Favourite moment off it?

Watching the Final of the Presidents trophy, being in the stand as the underdogs with the chants and singing of the crowd and the silence of the opposition's fans.

Best player you have ever played with or against?

Luke Hammil - The commitment that he puts on the pitch can't be faulted, always looking to put in the biggest hit of the game.

Favourite tour memory?

All of us walking out of the Millennium Stadium tunnel with the entrance music, it gave you a slight feeling of what it would be like to be a professional player.

Favourite ground to play away at?

OA's - The pitch was always good and when we were playing their 5th's the games were always great to be part of.

If I was stuck in a lift with one other player, it would have to be....?

Little Hilly - He can abuse anyone or anything and would be able to keep you entertained for hours.

The last person I would want to share a room with on tour....

George Hicks - The forever wondering if he is going to urinate on your or your property keeps you alert for the whole weekend.

If I could change one thing about Watford RFC, it would be....

The lack of floodlights, when training during the winter months the training area becomes restricted and a bit more light would make the sessions even better. And Blazers.
