🤯Absolute madness. I'm going to a World Cup!!! I'm actually going to get on a aeroplane. Travel the othersode of the world and be in a World Cup. 

🚸To say it's a child hood dream come true would be a complete lie. Growing up I never knew rugby existed, as an adult I became  aware it was a thing people who go to fancy schools with grass pitches in their playground (imagine that in the middle of New Cross) do. 

🏉Never up to the age of 24 would I have imagined it would be a sport that has shaped my life. A sport that has given me so much opportunity that I'm sure I wouldn't have got with Athletics and particularly with throwing a discus or shot putt. 

🃏I'm proud to say I took all the cards I was dealt, good and bad and fully maximised on opportunity. Said yes as often as possible and put myself in the unknown more times then I can count. 

🙏🏽The hard world and grind will for ever continue on and off the pitch but for now... Grateful. Grateful to all the unseen help I receive, all the support I get from people who help me to live such a tunnel visioned life in sport. 

🏆Yes I made sacrifices, yes I made changes, yes I smashed down doors that where never meant to be open for me. So I'm doing for all those who never even knew they could ❤️❤️

🗣️And as Nelson Mandela said
"A winner is a dreamer who never gives up"
