Position: Really a flanker but I like to think I'm a Scrum Half or Stand Off.
Favourite Porty player: I don't know too young to remember some of the greats, The Roarster or Stu Little when he played. It would have to be my dear dad (Vince Ridd) because I learnt all my tricks off him.
Favourite International Player: Probably Ali Hogg but I also like Mike Blair. I do like Neil Back even though he's English.

Greatest Rugby Moment: When I pulled on the 1XV jersey at RAF Kinloss. What a day out!
Worst Rugby Moment: Worst Rugby Moment - When I had to be carried of against Musselburgh last season. Cos I was so ill with the flu. I didn't want to leave the field. Plus we got humped 91-0.
