OLYMPIC EXPERIENCE
He says he enjoyed his experience at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, despite his tournament ending prematurely after sustaining a knee injury during the opening match against the United States of America. "Living in Rio was a unique feeling, being part of a squad that is bigger than your own sport, sharing so much with other people and being in the Olympic Village was incredible. It is much more than living with teammates from the same country, you're sharing the village with so many different sports and nationalities. There is a certain tension there as athletes have devoted their whole lives to getting there, but it is a nice feeling." (world.rugby, 21 Feb 2018)
