Like at the same time, I mean, you've been playing with Harlequins for a number of years now and a lot of your teammates are playing in France.

Do you ever get a little bit of envy, certainly this time of year when their climate for training and playing is just a little bit better than what you're getting in England?

So you talk there about the individuality of being the only Italian in Harlequins and loving that, loving being different to the rest of your teammates on that front.

I get the sense this has been a constant theme throughout your life, even when I read into your background and how you discover rugby in the first place.

Like rugby is not something that surrounded you when you were a child.

Rugby is something that you went off and pursued.

How much time had passed between you discovering rugby and you packing down at Loosehead against Wales in a Six Nations match?

You mentioned there that your family were there for your game against Wales, that sort of baptism of fire for you.

What was your family's...

Well, I was going to ask, what was your family's reaction to you telling them in the first place that you've gone off to university in Spain, you've discovered this new sport, rugby, that you've never played before?

Were they surprised?

Were they interested?

Were they supportive?

Why?

So what did your family say to that?

Saying they were proven correct in the end.

You did get injured playing rugby.

Can I ask Silvio,

What was the thing that made you fall in love with rugby to the point where you're ignoring what your parents and your family are saying, that you kind of realized that you were going to sacrifice career opportunities and the approval of your parents to pursue this thing?

How did you end up falling so madly in love with this sport in Spain?
