Childhood hero? Mario Ledesma, Kevin Mealamu and Yannick Jauzion

Best moment on the pitch? Unbeaten treble-winning season with Blackheath Under 18s. The real invincibles.

Best match ever attended? Harlequins 19-17 Stade Francais in December 2008. I wore my multi-coloured Stade shirt and sat next to the away fans with their brass section. Oh I love French rugby.

Bucket list event? Not an event but watching a test match at Eden Park in New Zealand.
