Phil told me what to expect about the club, the history and everything, and I have had a great welcome and fitted in well.

It's been difficult because it's always hard when you're not being picked for the big games. But I've kept quiet, put my head down and trained hard when I've been back with my club. I'm really looking forward to Saturday.

I think U.S. citizens are trained at a young age to fully inhale the system, the rhetoric and ideologies surrounding democracy, capitalism, religion, family life...If the wizard is exposed, and we realize we’ve been lied to, it’s frightening, like political vertigo or instantaneous sobriety.
