Growing up in Papua New Guinea before heading to boarding school in Australia, Aidan shares what it was like finding his love for rugby union at 16 and the importance of enjoying what you do. We talk about the untapped potential of rugby in PNG and why real pathways matter. He opens up about the cultural shifts of moving to France and Japan, learning to dive all-in (with a few too many croissants and red wines along the way), and how injuries, missed sacrifices, and strong support systems all shaped his journey. A down-to-earth, honest chat about sport, growth, and taking chances.
