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.
00:41 Yeah, I think there's three players, Andrew Thompson,
00:44 that have played at Wembley before.
00:46 Has anyone touched on the build-up to it,
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,
00:56 So I might have that conversation this week just to see what they're saying.
