3. Who’s your biggest supporter and why? My parents, without question—especially my dad. He’s been there for nearly every match I’ve played, including flying over to Australia to watch me with the Scone Brumbies. At the time, I probably didn’t realise how much that meant, but now that I’ve been playing in New Zealand for the past two seasons, I’ve come to really miss having him on the sideline. His presence and support has always been important for me.
