THE NOTTINGHAM FULL-BACK TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND
1. The power of the bandwagon
England's run at the World Cup has resulted in a football bandwagon that's hard not to jump on. Being Irish it's not very patriotic of me to want England to go far but the hilarious ‘footballs coming home' videos, memes and the general anarchy on the streets after games provide great entertainment. I had a guilty pleasure of wanting to see how crazy the country would go if it had come home!
TRP VERDICT: It's a (St. George) Cross you'll just have to bear!
2. Speed cameras in Nottingham
I learned the hard way about the excessive amount of speed cameras in Nottingham. Whilst it has certainly made me more speed aware, I feel a little hard done by from having to drive past nearly 30 speed cameras to and from training every day!
TRP VERDICT: No need to get snappy!
3. Cold showers on match days
Last season we played in some bleak weather conditions and there's nothing worse than coming back to the changing rooms having to deal with cold showers. Ospreys and Richmond away come to mind as having dripping ice cold showers on those days. I had the added pleasure of Matt Everard stealing my towel and abandoning his troops as he headed off to the Richmond changing rooms to enjoy their hot power showers!
TRP VERDICT: You have our sympathy, a cold and wet weekend in Swansea is enough to test anyone.
