- My best memory from Rugby is from my first tour with the boys to Edinburgh; we don't do tours in the US and I had no idea what to expect. It was Sunday morning about 10am, and we are all in a daze after a really heavy session the night before. We had walked up and down Princes street trying to find a pub to let us in when we finally found one and made our way to the back room. The pints started coming and we started singing and the next hour was probably one of the most magical moments of my life. I won't go into too much detail because "what goes on tour stays on tour", but I will say the pub was filled with French rugby fans and they got to see ALL of us.

- Most of my bizarre memories are from my first year when I didn't know any of the rules or what I was doing. I was playing on the wing and I had just recieved a pass near the try line where I only had one man to beat. He went to tackle my legs and I jumped over him and crossed the try line as I had done in American football. I was sooo excited until I noticed the other player screaming at the ref to penalise me. Luckily, the referee wasn't paying enough attention and I was given the try. I found out later from a teammate that you aren't allowed to jump over other players.

- This is my third season playing rugby. I started at winger which is the easiest position for a beginner and then moved into inside centre last year and I have played there since. I played one game at flanker this season and got concussed, so I decided I'll stick with the pretty boys in the backs!
