SIBLING RIVALRY
He believes a friendly rivalry with his brother Jake, who is a professional rugby union [15-a-side] player, has helped both siblings achieve success in their respective sports. "It's a low-key competition. We keep messaging each other. But he's been incredibly successful and working unbelievably hard. It's such motivation to be part of a family that's so hard-working. And to know we're getting results from that." (heraldscotland.com, 05 Oct 2019)
