Probably hitting a forehand top-spin winner whilst on tour with the British & Irish Lions in 2001. A chance to try a different sport at the home of the Australain Open in Melbourne.
Honing skills with a slightly foreign shaped ball on the beach in Newcastle.
Blackie has been a great influence and support to my career and a great friend away from rugby. He'll always have time to talk and lend invaluable advise for which I’ll always be grateful.
Taking a breather after another kicking session. As a kicker, you spend many hours at the stadium alone practicing, and in my case RC Toulon’s Stade Felix Mayol has quickly become a home away from home.
On tour in Australia in 1999. Some light exercise in a nasty sleeveless t-shirt in Couran Cove, Queensland, away from the training ground ahead of our meeting with the Wallabies in Sydney’s Stadium Australia.
Showing a love of rugby from an early age. Dad used to take myself and Sparks to Farnham RUFC where we learnt our rugby as mini’s.
The early days. A team shot of a jubilant Lords Wandsworth College rugby team.
Taking a stroll and getting some much needed rest on the beach in Northumberland with Bamburgh Castle in the background.
Me aged 3, hitting a beautiful line off a short ball from my Dad.
Finding time to relax and gather your thoughts in Toulon is easy. The good weather makes it easy to explore and escape the pressures of professional rugby.
Taking time out in Toulon to stand behind a massive bench seat with colourful cushions on it.
Playing at Twickenham at early age with Farnham RUFC. It was a dream to play for England at Twickenham in those days, and I consider myself privileged to have made it come true.
