De Ereklasse en de Futureklasse zijn inmiddels weer van start, maar we hebben nog genoeg spelers om te introduceren! Dus daar gaan we gerust mee verder! De mannen hebben zelf een vragenlijst voorgeschoteld gekregen en mogen hier zelf een keuze te maken welke zij graag willen beantwoorden.
Vandaag is het tijd voor een van onze eerste rijers: David Anderson!
How about the Dutch rugby competition currently is on “winterbreak” due to the international window. Any special tips to share for this period of time?
During this time I focus on myself the most to get myself in the best mindspace. So when I return I’m ready to finish off the season on a high. This I do by meditation, ice baths work out 3 x a day and breath work. My body is my temple!!
If I could be a 6-nations player, Springbok, All Black or Puma for a day that would be …. because ….?
I will be Jonny Wilkinson, I think him and I have a lot of similarities apart from our position.
My biggest rugby goal/dream is ….. and to get there I will/should …..?
Already achieved it… I got to play with my Idol Jasey van Kampen.
My secret tip to improve your rugby skills is this exercise:
Speed beats power, that’s my philosophy….I am speed..
The position I would love to (also) be able to play is…..because…..?
My team mates will attest by this but i’m a fly half born into a props body…
From which coach/player have you learnt the most and why?
Hadley Jackson for sure.. great coach but even better human! But let’s talk what he could learn about myself….(joking)
Which injury do you fear the most and why?
None, Injuries fear me…
What is the best game you played so far/which game has stayed with you and why?
Any HRC game a game to remember, it’s the ones when it’s pouring down and ankle’s deep in the mud you remember and the backs just get into an argument with each other about who dropped the ball, those are the one’s that make you chuckle..
What is your craziest trip story?
None.. What goes on tour, stays on tour…
Describe (in detail) the try of your dreams to us:
70 m run, ash splash dive and the whole HRC croud goes wild! Manifest it baby!!!
I – after just starting rugby – still remember vividly that one time …..
None, had a lot off concussions.. Not sure where I am right now….
The stupidest thing I’ve ever forgotten (short story describing when, what, why and how you resolved it)
Never fotget anything, take my craft very seriously.
When asked why I joined HRC I tell this story by means of example
Simple awnser, family… the club always helpt me when i needed it the most, also made some amazing friendships for life. Proud to play for HRC! The core values of rugby are respect, discipline and fellowship. People sometimes tend to think those are just words. I prove them wrong by telling this true story
I love the core values of rugby because they truly embody teamwork, respect, and discipline. The sport teaches you to work together towards a common goal, to honor your opponents and teammates alike, and to push your limits with integrity. It’s not just about physical strength; it’s about character, humility, and perseverance. Rugby reminds me that success is built on mutual support, hard work, and a shared commitment to something bigger than yourself.
