Josh
was born and raised amid the glamor of Langford
and began
his rugby career at the rugby factory of Belmont
Secondary. Josh is the second of three brothers
who have played for CW and the first to have
played in the BC Premier League. What Josh’s
game lacks in finesse it more than makes up
for in brute strength and raw talent. He is
a punishing tackler and great runner with the
ball. After a couple of seasons with the first
division Josh appears to have found a home
in the Premier League as his game has seen
tremendous improvement.
|
| This
improvement seems to coincide with the departure
of Ed Knaggs, a mentor who convinced Josh that
a second row does not need to be able to catch,
pass or jump. The size and strength of Josh
has rugby insiders asking many questions; how
has he gotten so good?, how good can he become?,
and is it true that Josh is really a sasquatch
that has been shaved and domesticated? |
