It’s as important as skill at times and you would be hard pressed to find a rugby young gun with more passion for the game – and his club – than this 1st Colts player ahead of round two.
A teenage multi-sport gun is moving to a new sport to chase an Olympic dream after ending the Australian surf life saving titles as its champion of champions with an incredible medal haul.
