Life @ LGS
| Achievements | Head Boy |
| Extra-curricular activities you took part in | Rugby/Golf |
| Most memorable moment from your time at LGS? | I always loved the Schools Cup each year with the rugby team, the excitement and build up leading into it. A lot of my fondest memories were actually spent on the rugby pitch after school practising my kicking, often with my brother, while my mum waited (not always patiently) for us to finish. |
| If you could give advice to your teenage self, what would it be? | Perhaps not to be so hard on myself or uptight regarding my rugby performances. A bad performance would linger with me for days, affecting my mood and I was difficult to be around especially for my family. I understand that my obsession and setting high standards led to a career in pro rugby but I now know there is a balance to find there. |
