1. Stuart, it's great to have you as the new Head Coach at Service. Can you tell us a bit about yourself.

I was introduced to rugby at 13 years old by last years president Billy Mccreight. Started playing rugby at 15 for civil service and since then I have been with many clubs both as a player and also player/coach and have made lots of friends along the way . I am 53 but still think I am 16 and looking forward to putting the boots on again.

2. Preseason starts on Monday, players famously dread this time of year, what have you in store?

Boys have nothing to fear. Pre season should be fun but mouth guards will be required!

3. What are you hopes for the season ahead?

To win league, develop players and see everyone enjoying their rugby with a smile on their face

4. Word has it you were a pretty decent fly half in your time, does that mean we can expect some free flowing, champagne rugby?

I really hope so, not a great fan of kicking the ball. If you don't have possession you can't score

5. And finally, if you were stuck on a desert island & could only have 3 items, what would they be?

Bible, wife and a good pint of Guinness
