The best and the worst
Favourite Rams match: Beating Rosslyn Park 24-21 in October 2021. After racing into a 24-0 lead we held on with heroic defending which also ended their unbeaten start – A brilliant game!
Worst Rams match: I try to forget them, but any defeat to local rivals!
Favourite Rams try: The bonus point try at the end of the Richmond game in January 2020 – right outside the Clubhouse and despite losing, the place was bouncing.
Favourite Rams player(s): Jak Rossiter, Zach Clow and James Baker.

He ran the length of the pitch at Twickers and I was lucky enough to be there to see it live.
Favourite ever player (any rugby): I cannot pick just one, but my top three (in no particular order) are Courtney Lawes, Jonny Wilkinson and James Roby (St Helens Rugby League).
