Shane is a back line utility player who has settled in the centre for the Saints. His fierce style of play intimidates his opposite number and his self-belief provides the crowd with some awesome moves that often lead to tries.

Off the pitch he is a refined party-boy who enjoys the finer things in life like Port and sparring...He's a staunch St Austell bloke with a laugh like a donkey choking on a flip-flop who loves his town and rugby! He is also a country mile ahead now for the best answer to 7.
