00:01I remember growing up and I didn't necessarily see too many rugby players that looked like me.
00:07When you're young, black and from London, I think there's often a tendency to see these kids as brash.
00:16I do believe in the idea that you have to earn your stripes,
00:19but I don't believe in the idea that you have to be someone you're not.
00:24Rugby has a privileged history and doesn't really come into communities like mine.
00:29People aren't aware of the opportunities for them and I feel like rugby is one of those opportunities.
00:35You tap into a group of players that potentially hadn't seen rugby as an avenue.
00:41Rugby can be that vehicle to change a lot of people's lives, I think, unless not enough people are exposed
00:46to it.
00:47I just felt part of something and it was the first time I really had that feeling.
00:52Rugby has a special place in my heart and it's changed the course of my life.
00:55I just feel more people should have that chance.
01:00Rugby has a special place in your mind.
01:03It's a great place in my life.
01:04I am the last guest in my heart and it's changed the course of my life.
01:04I just feel more people should have that chance.
01:04You know, I am the last guest in your heart.
01:08You are.
01:19I am the guest guest.
