Blackswrugby: Firstly, what made you want to pick up this sport?
Marian: During my secondary school days, some of my friends and I used to go down old PA to support our church boys during their B Division games. Watching how the boys gave their all, how the sport unites people together, and how it can be so rich in culture made me realize that this is not just a sport but something that can move big things. I started out with touch rugby in my poly days and started to appreciate the game even more.
Blackswrugby: What position do you play and what do you like about it?
Marian: For this season, i'm playing as a Flanker (i'm usually a winger). i like this position because it gives me a 'hunter' kind of feeling and challenges me to make all my tackles count.
Blackswrugby: If you could play any one position of your choice, what would it be and why?
Marian: hmm. Scrum-half? the scrum-half in Blacks are v inspiring!
Blackswrugby: Do you play any other sports besides rugby?
Marian: Used to bowl competitively...
Blackswrugby: What do you like to do in your free time?
Marian: Many things! If i can, more Artsy stuff like spending more time in music, photography, etc...
Blackswrugby: Trainings can be tough at times, what motivates you?
Marian: To be able to play the position well so that during the game, i can perform my best for the team. Also the amount of heart, time and effort that our coach / coach-player seniors have sacrificed to win the Championships motivates me.
Blackswrugby: Are your friends and family supportive of you playing rugby?
Marian: Not so much of my family because of the time it takes away from them, and my mother thinks its a very dangerous sport.
Blackswrugby: How would you describe your experience playing rugby, so far?
Marian: I think rugby has proven alot of 'life lessons' to be true. Being persistent, determined and committed to fitness/trngs do make a difference in your performance and the results from your efforts are clear. Sometimes i think that there are so many things that i can't do, but when thrown in the situation, with the support of your teammates and the right amount of pressure to perform, you might surprise yourself at times. Rugby is really not just a competitive sport but a learning journey to experience with your teammates.
