Best thing about CWB RFC: Family atmosphere not quite Walt Disney but getting there, “Small but proud club whose players never give up”. French is the first language.

Best advice ever received: “Focus on doing your job to the best of your abilities, and simply enjoy the game” “Mr Mullan, please stop playing this game’’ (My GP, Hong Kong 2009)

Favorite quotes: “God designed his back side to push against” “the ball travels faster than the man” “Get your retaliation in first” “audaces fortuna iuvat”

Funniest CWB RFC incident: Being a founding member of the Jakarta Five, I am not allowed to mention what happened on tour for obivious reasons.
What do you want to be remembered for: He had a real passion for the game. “fortiter in re, suaviter in modo”
