It’s been absent for a season, but it is now back with a bang. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Birdman and Frodo – Old Gs 60 seconds is back!
First up for the 2018-2019 season is everyones favourite Old Gs care bear Jack Nash. Jack has been a member at the club for approximately 5 years now, and as he indicates below a relative latecomer to the game. However, what he may have lacked in rugby knowhow he more that makes up for with his cheery attitude and commitment to club socials – as his vast wardrobe of Old Gs fancy dress will suggest.
A strong ball carrier on the pitch, Nash is one of Old Gs go to men with ball in hand and is regularly a nuisance, both legally and pushing the boundaries, with visiting teams. Never afraid to ask a question (just ask Andy Miller), here the tables are turned as he shares some pearls of wisdom as you get to know him a little more (maybe more than you would actually like to).
Here we go…brace yourself!

If you didn’t have to sleep what would you do with the extra time?
I would worry that I would get lonely as all my mates would still need to sleep, so I would make it my life’s mission to learn the language of the night foxes.
