00:00 Emotions, the excitement that this week has for you?

00:02 Yeah, most definitely. It's a very big occasion, isn't it?

00:06 So, my body doesn't know what it's telling me right now,

00:09 but nerves, excitement, enjoyment,

00:14 like just being out there with the boys,

00:15 like being able to be in the tunnel,

00:18 go on the pitch, like all of that is just coming to me all at once.

00:22 I imagine, obviously, you've got to work hard to progress through the youth ranks.

00:26 This is a day that you'll dream of, you have been dreaming of.

00:29 Yeah, ever since I touched rugby ball,

00:31 I obviously wanted to achieve something big,

00:33 and just getting there is a big achievement for me.

00:35 So, yeah, I'm happy to be going to Wembley with Wigan against Fontan.

00:48 what it's like playing there in the crowd?

00:51 No, I've not actually asked deeper with some of the players that I have played there,
