A powerful scrummager, he has had a tough run with injuries, with his latest being a dislocated knee in the final Digicel Cup round-robin match against Naitasiri in July 2009.
After recovering from a serious knee injury sustained in 1986, he was part of the Welsh Triple Crown (rugby union) winning side in 1988, most famously giving the then newly capped Jeff Probyn (a renowned scrummager himself) a scrummaging masterclass at Twickenham in an 11-3 victory.
