THE NEWCASTLE WING BACK TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND
1. Mushrooms
I can't stand them – the texture, the flavour, the look…it doesn't matter what variety they are, they're all a horrible colour. I struggle to understand why anyone would want to eat them.
TRP VERDICT: And we thought you were such a fungi! Sorry, we can't let this one through, it's one of the classic pizza toppings.
2. Parking tickets
It's more my Mrs who gets them, but I end up paying! I do seem to be getting a lot more since we moved up to Newcastle, maybe that's coincided with doing the school run where parking is a complete free-for-all.
TRP VERDICT: Apologies again, we're going to have to draw a double yellow line through it.
3. Fitness
I hate doing fitness. I dread it when a proper fitness test is coming up and get a bit anxious in the minutes beforehand. Maybe it's because I'm not one of the super-fit guys in the squad.
TRP VERDICT: Now you're talking! Pull up a chair and relax in Room 101!
