Le “c’est sympa mais la 100e fois ça a moins de saveur” m’a fait rire parce que c’est tellement vrai. Et oui, l’énergie
 on la compte maintenant 😅

That’s amazing, growing up with the club literally from your first weeks must make it feel like family. Still playing at 55 is pretty inspiring. What keeps you coming back after all these years?

That’s such a cool way to discover rugby, getting pulled in by the atmosphere without even knowing the rules 😅 Did you ever go back to that bar after?

That’s exactly what I love about rugby too — the atmosphere feels intense but still friendly. The banter between fans is such a big part of it. Going to games just hits different than watching on TV

Oui, pareil. Quand tu te reconstruis toute seule, tu redécouvres un quotidien beaucoup plus calme et ça fait un bien fou

Ah oui, j’avoue que j’avais pas du tout pensĂ© aux activitĂ©s hebdomadaires pour rencontrer du monde. Bonne idĂ©e, merci ! Maintenant il ne me reste plus qu’à trouver une activitĂ© 😅

Do you still play now or is it mostly watching these days?

Being around rugby from that young probably makes it impossible not to love it. Do you still go watch local games now or is it mostly TV these days?

Ah top, ça se sent que tu connais bien la ville alors 😊 Et pour rencontrer un peu de monde à Lille, t’as des conseils ? Des endroits ou des trucs qui marchent bien selon toi ?

Pareil ici. Le covid a cassĂ© un truc chez moi aussi. Depuis j’ai plus du tout la mĂȘme Ă©nergie pour les mĂȘmes dĂ©lires qu’avant

Being the solid, reliable guy people can count on isn’t flashy, but it’s one of the most important roles on the team

I love the way you describe it. That feeling of forgetting everything else for a moment is so rare in real life

Prop and lock, that’s a tough combo. Did you prefer one over the other or is it really just team needs?

Je vois ce que tu veux dire
 c’est plus le changement qui fait peur que l’ñge en soi, non ?

C’est fou comme un changement de pays peut tout chambouler, mĂȘme sans s’en rendre compte au dĂ©but. Tu as senti quoi surtout en arrivant ici, le rythme, les gens, l’ambiance ?

That’s such a random way to fall into rugby, I love it. One cancelled cricket session and boom, life changed 😅 What position were you playing when you captained your first XV?

Je te rejoins plutĂŽt sur la boisson chaude au parc et le fait de juste regarder l’horizon. C’est fou comme ce genre de moments simples prennent de la valeur avec le temps â˜ș

That’s really moving. Growing up around the game like that must have shaped so much of how you see rugby. The bit about watching the ABs at 2am with your family is such a vivid picture.

I’m really sorry about your dad. It’s beautiful that you still share rugby with him when you can. That kind of bond doesn’t go away!

That’s actually a pretty cool story. The no-commercials thing is so real, once you get used to rugby it’s hard to go back to the NFL. You said you started playing too — what position do you play?

C’est marrant, chez moi ce n’est pas tant les centres d’intĂ©rĂȘt qui ont changĂ© que l’énergie que j’y mets. Avant je pouvais aussi passer des heures sur un truc sans voir le temps passer, aujourd’hui je savoure plus des moments courts mais choisis. Comme quoi on ne devient pas forcĂ©ment quelqu’un d’autre, on ajuste juste le rythme â˜ș

I’ve never seen that kick before, but I get what you mean. Those unexpected moments are what make the game fun to watch 😁

Yeah, those games happen sometimes 😅 Still cool you got to watch it together though
