If you were stuck on a desert island with one other bath player who would it be?

The three names that spring to mind are my closest club mates. Matt Bodey, Tom Culshaw and Club Captain Ben Shedwick. All for a variety of reasons. Be it politics, banter or philosophy.

If I had to choose one. I think Shed (Ben Shedwick) just wins. Before lockdown I was pretty much living on his sofa. We’d end up consuming something we shouldn’t and laughing. I’m not that sure we’d get anything constructive done…like building a shelter.

If you were stuck on a desert island which item would you choose to have?

Probably my phone as I’d be able to have my Spotify account and access any books I’d need.

Favourite person at Bath RL and why – Matt Bodey/ Ben Shedwick. Really good friends with both outside of the club. Do a lot together be it rugby related or other ventures. I’ve learnt a lot about the game through both and they’ve been absolute rocks when I’ve need some support. Outside of rugby, they’ve helped me grow as a person…they are good crack to drink with.
