In my first game for Dowty, catching a return kick-off and barging my way through an entire pack, before being hauled down by some skinny-arse back because I'd run out of breath and needed a nice sit down.

6. What is your worst moment whilst playing a game of rugby?
For Dowty – tearing ligaments in my right knee and left thumb the same day I had a gig to play.
Outside of Dowty – being smeared across the turf at playing at school once in my last year – caught a high ball without realising an England U18 player (big lad) was charging at me with a 20 yard sprint start. Hit me just as I landed.
