Is it true that you turned down an invite to King Charles’s 70th birthday so you could go to rugby training?

Yes, that’s 100% true. To be honest, I knew I should have gone to the birthday but I really wanted to go to rugby training. This is ridiculous, but I’d been to Buckingham Palace a couple of times before and I’m at a stage in my life where I thought: “Actually, I’d much rather go to rugby training.” I had started playing disability rugby league and I became quite addicted to it. Training was my favourite part, just hanging out with a bunch of mates playing footy. That beats King Charles any day. No offence.
