I am a motivated, focused, determined and energetic person. I always give 100% on everything I do because taking advantage of the opportunities is another great feature of mine. I am a great leader and I like to motivate my teammates to improve as a team. As a player I am very flexible, I am an excellent ball carrier both in 1 vs 1 and in open play, having also played games as a center when it was served to the team. I am a very good tackler and I do a lot of tournover during the games and I am very good at managing the defensive line. I can define myself as a fast player being a forward. In scrum and touch I am very technical and explosive.
In all the teams that I have playd with I have been most of the time in the starting 15 and I have been decisive and fundamental in a lot of games.
