Blackwrugby: Dream position?
Tao: I don't have one. I like what I'm playing now.
Blackwrugby: What do you find most challenging about rugby?
Tao: To look like a winger when you are a prop facing a winger with the ball, or to be able to look like the fastest player on the field when facing a backline
Blackwrugby: What do your students think about you playing rugby?
Tao: They'll be like 'wahhhh', and some boys will imitate rugby tackles and try to do it in front of me. But when I pretend to dash at them they'll run away. Sometimes there are kids who are interested to take up rugby and they ask me more about it.
Blackwrugby: Pre game meal/ritual?
Tao: I'll do visualisation the night before, watch some videos of big hits, and try to drink enough water. I'll make sure I eat enough food haha. More carbs, like pasta or rice.
