ROWAN VARTY
He made the transition from boy to man last week when he debuted for Hong Kong coming on as substitute on the left wing against Singapore. But sadly the rugby ball never travelled down the line in the 10 minutes left in the match and the former KGV schoolboy is still waiting for his first touch of the ball at the senior international level. He is 18.
Frustrated at not getting your hands on the ball?
Yes. I made one tackle though. But I'm still happy, for you have to start somewhere. It's been great. Last year I was playing for the under-19s and now I'm in the senior team.
It must have been a long wait on the bench?
I was a little bit nervous waiting. But I felt very comfortable as soon as I went on with about five minutes left. It was 10 minutes, actually.
