Chris is a highly experienced coach and has done it all from grassroots through to coaching the Fijian National 7s team. His latest role is coaching is with the Poland national team in their quest to climb the world rankings.I've had the great pleasure of working alongside Chris at the Hong Kong Rugby Union. He was always great company and I valued being able to reconnect with him and share some good memories whilst also diving into areas that helped shape Chris into the excellent coach that he is. The most striking thing about Chris is his humility yet steelyness to navigate some tough times he's had in his coaching journey. Another thing you might like to know is that he plays a very mean guitar!
