THE HOOKER TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND

1. Bad gym music

We've got a decent hardworking group at Wasps and a lot of us like to put in an early shift in the gym and get the day off on the front foot. But nothing kills the mood more than the modern music a lot of the young lads put on , none of which Iknow. Much to their amusement, I always say ‘is this Drake?' My playlist is dominated by 90s Manchester music like Oasis and The Stone Roses.

TRP VERDICT: What's the story, morning glory? How could it be anything but that track!

2. ‘Toppers'

There's noth ing worse than when you're in the middle ofa story and someone butts in and says ‘I've b een here, I've done this', making out that the ir experience was miles better . It's a conversat ion killer. Me and the rest of the lads just give each other a look when it hap pens.

TRP VERDICT: Just be the better man and let it blow over you.

3. Social Media

I have a love/hate relationship with social media and can see the good and the bad in it. You can have some positive interactions but I hate the amount of influence it has on so me people. It is also very addictive. Occasionally I delete apps a nd restore t hem after a week or two, ju st to give my self a break. At the moment I'm on ly on Instagram because my Twitter account got hacked. I think whoever did it has done me a favour to be honest.

TRP VERDICT: You've got a verification code to proceed.
