"It was a really good experience for me, I went to the Hong Kong Sevens and played in front of 45,000 people at the age of 19 and that is a great way to get into the bigger level, playing in front of big crowds and getting used to the pressure. It really helped me build my game and improve for when I came back to England and played with Harlequins." (skysports.com, 08 Nov 2014) |
