What is your best moment playing Touch? Playing and coaching on the NZ Academy tour 2010 was the most amazing touch experience ever for me.  Second would be being part of the NZ Maori contingent at the World Indigenous 2010.

What are you goals for the World Cup? I've been playing touch for 20 years and am absolutely stoked and humbled to finally make an NZ side that will compete in a World Cup and give me an opportunity to represent my country and culture in a game I have played and loved for over half my life.  My goals for the World Cup are to be as fit, fast and strong as possible, I'm a firm believer in fitness being a must at any level of sport.  I want to fully understand my role in the team and know exactly how I can add value and perform to the best of my ability to achieve the team goal of winning a world cup!
