- Favorite thing about Rugby? The brotherhood between players. It doesn’t matter how long you have known anyone, as soon as you are on the pitch with someone, they are instantly your brother and you would do anything for them.
Coach’s Notes: One of the most soft-spoken players on the team, John has come a long way since he started with the club last year. As he continues to progress, he gives us much-needed depth in the front row. He has also turned into a tough player to bring down when he has the ball.
