6) Best rugby moment? Would have to be back in 2008 when I played for a Chatham Islands Invitational vs. BOP Classic XV at Bay Park as a curtain raiser for BOP vs. Otago. We got thumped 53-14 but it was an awesome experience playing in front of friends, family and a crowd getting behind the under dogs. 

7) Best OBU Therapists moment? Making the finals in our first year and dotting against the Yardies. Called a mayday, received a miracle ball from Clarky to me on the wing about 30 out, stepped inside my opposite and pinned my ears for the corner.

8) Who is your all time Rugby hero? Byron Kelleher. A real tough competitor and a well rounded player. I used to tell everyone he's my cousin, still do sometimes.

9) If you could invite 5 people to dinner who would you invite? Katy Perry- enough said. Scarlet Johansson- following tradition, she would be plan B if Katy and I didn't hit it off. Mohammed Ali (in his prime)- one of the greatest athletes ever, hopefully I'd learn a thing or two. Bear Grylls- to spin a few yarns. and Peter Griffin on entertainment.

10) Who was your 1st kiss? Sophie Baty, 3rd form junior social.

11) Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Halfway through my 20 year plan... Hopefully have my CA qualification by then and a sweet job, bit of travel under my belt. I also hope to be involved with the Therapist Super 16 Franchise in some shape or form.

12) Who is your favourite fellow OBU Therapist? Chunky. Hard working, reliable and a gc. One of the better refs we've had this season too.

13) Nicknames? Ducky, Duck, Quacks, Postie, Pedro, Buddha

14) What’s your favourite ‘I was hanging with the boys this one time and...’ story? .. I thought it would be a good idea to streak through one of my lectures. Rob Drake was my partner in crime and had a few more accomplices to drop our clothes off at the escape route. The streak went well. The lecturer got the fright of her life after a few gazelle jumps and hip thrusts as we flew by. Even got a bit of an ovation from the class.. It all went to plan except for the part when Dre left my undies and shorts round at the entrance so when Rob and the others ditched I was standing outside the campus security office with just a t-shirt and jandals which was no bloody good to me. So I had to streak past the Kelburn Parade roundabout, through the quad to hide in some bushes by the old student health building until the guys with my clothes found me... That’s one for the grandkids.

15) What was the cause behind your worst ever hangover? My brothers 21^st hands down. Drinking right through to the next day plus a lack of sleep... Munted for the next couple days.

16) Worst job you ever had? A one off job as a glassy at Garden club. Ended up having to work part of the night upstairs at Ivy- a gay bar if you don’t know. Pretty uncomfortable.

17) What’s your ultimate hangover cure? 1-2L of Chocolate milk.

18) What’s your cooking specialty? Mash spud and a hearty casserole. Perfect for these winter months.

19) What is your strategy when it comes to picking up the ladies in town? Busting out some fully sick dance moves is the usual strategy. A few beers to get the dutch courage up and a wingman are also essential.

20) What’s the one song you want to hear before you run out onto the field for the OBU Therapists? “Around The World” – Red Hot Chili Peppers.

21) What was the best story told at your 21st? Had a few goodies but the queef story to keep it G rated was the winner on the day I think. Probably one of my most embarrassing moments.

Cheers Ducky mate, see you lads friday. Lets make it happen!!
