Downtime with KATE WILLIAMS

The Gloucester-Hartpury and Wales flanker on niche skills, golf-ball hunting and dusty e-bikes

What’s the funniest thing you've seen on the pitch? There’s been a few face plants. That's quite funny. I'm pretty sure Pip Hendy face-planted last season and that was pretty funny. Although maybe not for her!

Do you have any phobias?

Not outright. I’m not a big fan of insects, maybe that would be my phobia. I wouldn't be good on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

What really annoys you?

When you're having a conversation with someone and they're not listening to you.

If your house was on fire, what one item would you save?

It’s a bit embarrassing but I still have this soft toy from when I was a kid: Ruby Rabbit. I'd probably bring her!

What's the best thing you've ever bought?

It’s not a big thing but I had this brilliant pain au chocolat the other day. The chocolate croissant was brilliant. I got it in Swansea and it was so good. It was like three or four quid.

What's the silliest thing you've bought?

I’ve got an e-bike in the garage. Mainly for when my mum comes over. She was like “What am I going to do for a car?” I said, “Mum, I can’t afford to buy you a car, I haven’t got enough money.” So she said, “What about an e-bike?” So I bought a second-hand e-bike from eBay that sits there for 90 per cent of the year until I decide to go out for a bike ride in the summer.
