Today we are #GettingToKnow Frome RFC’s Ryan Lech.
When was your First XV debut? It was against Swindon College Old Boys RFC, 14 September 2019. Close game but went the right way in the end.
What’s been your best moment so far with Frome RFC? Playing against Devizes RFC this February in the middle of storm Dennis. Great rugby on display, Devizes didn’t want to know.
What Netflix show do you binge? Pretty late to the party, but Peaky Blinders at the moment.
What food is your guilty pleasure? I love burritos.
What is your prematch song? Beast from the film Southpaw.
Any advise to someone getting into rugby? go in with 100% on and off the pitch. The best sport and environment to make friends and still smash someone legally.
Which player, past or present would you most like to play with? Seen it come up a few times but Toby Culff, see some hits rain down.
What hobby would I like to take up? I have been getting into gardening. Thought it would be dull but when my tulips came through - pow. Instantly hooked.
Who is the Funniest teammate? It’s a close call, the club has a load of contenders. Going to go with the one and only ‘MDM’. Mike Duppa Miller, comes out with absolute gold.
What sport would I play other than rugby? don’t really know, swimming or darts.
What is your favourite film? Forrest Gump, hands down. It’s got it all.
How are you staying fit during isolation? weights, circuits and running. Keep the body guessing.
Who is your sporting hero? Josh Lewsey. A great player and utterly ruthless. Watching the Aussie fullback Matt Rogers try and give him a tough time - he doesn’t even react - next play broke his ribs with a huge hit. Awesome.
Do you have any prematch rituals or superstitions? Not really, I do like to tape my head though.
Advice for people in lockdown -
Make the best of what you can, try not to think of the negatives, we will get through this.
Tomorrow we catch up with former 1st XV Captain Will Button.
