"I can't remember when I began playing the sport. But I was born and raised in New Zealand where rugby is popular. My father and uncle also played it and it was our familiar sport. When I watched a game on television at around age six, I thought I would become a professional player someday." (ntt.com, 12 Dec 2013)
