A classic modern-day 12; Ben is a pillar in defence and a powerful runner, regularly able to break through the opposition line with his pace and strength. These qualities, combined with his high work-rate, keep Ben high-up in the top try scorer table.

Ben is totally committed in all aspects of his game, works hard for the team and consistently delivers high-quality performances, not just on match day but also in training, which earns him the respect of his coaches, as well as the players. His attitude, commitment and match-day performances earn him this month’s award for the stand-out player of the month.
