Chris Ashwin - 20 Question Challenge

Chris Ashwin - 20 Question Challenge

Ian Grantham27 Sep 2017 - 06:00

Chris Ashwin, a legend in his own lunchtime, takes the 20 question challenge

Chris is the brother of Andy Ashwin and if that isn't enough he also plays Fly Half for the Saints. He comes across as being so nice I'd describe him as the male version of the girl next door (apologies to my neighbours). He's obviously not been given enough 'attention' by the forwards if his answer to question 1 is anything to go by....

Check out Chris's responses:

1. Best thing about Rugby?
Bus trips home (whilst I am still awake)

2. Worst thing about Rugby?
Training!

3. Earliest memory of playing Rugby?
Kicking the conversion to win the World Cup on the green outside my house aged 4 or 5

4. How Many Clubs have you played for and which ones were they?
Quite a few! Winchester, Newbury, Bristol, Barking, Figeac (France), Associates (Australia), Bridgwater and St Austell. More clubs than Tiger Woods!

5. Best Memory with St Austell?
Winning the cup or my first game on the same side as Andy, 10 years after the last one.

My brother, Andrew. skilful blighter!

Rachel Stevens from S Club 7. She is a fantastic singer and I would just like to chat about her musical influences etc.

9. Who is your favourite professional player?
Beauden Barrett at the moment

10. What is your favourite Film?
I get a bit bored watching films but don't mind a TV series. Game of Thrones or Californication

11. What is your favourite Book?
I, Partridge by Alan Partridge. Back of the net

12. What kind of music do you like pre-game?
My lucky song is say a little prayer for you by Aretha Franklin, but I always forget to play it

15. How did you become a Saints player?
I moved to Cornwall for my University placement and needed some mates! And Truro could never afford me.

16. Which of your team mates is the most mischievous and why?
Adam Kellow is very funny. But like Steve Murley often says....Kellow's alright giving out the banter but he doesn't take it very well.

17. Who is the best dressed man in the squad?
Hector Bright. Easily. He can even make a St Austell RFC baseball cap look trendy

18. Which team mate is most likely to avoid paying for a round of drinks?
Me or Studo
