Rugby History: There are very view few rugby venues where whispering the name “Robbie Brown” doesn’t bring about a sharp intake of breath and a knowing look. From Twickenham to Esher, Melbourne to Cape Town he’s known as a ferocious competitor with talent to spare. So, what’s he doing at Haslemere, I hear you ask? Well it’s simple; no matter how successful he became, his love of grass-roots ‘club rugby’ never left him, and the fond memories of the rolling Surrey hills and his favoured town watering-holes were too great a pull. He’s come back to his first love (Haslemere Rugby) and in all honesty I’ve never seen him so happy. Even old pal Danny Ciprini said, “Robbie’s just a natural giver. He wants to build something from scratch. Success for him is seeing those around him grow and develop, and just knowing he’s been a part of that”. We welcome him back into the Haslemere Rugby family with open arms.

Aims for the season: To get ripped. To get everyone ripped. If you’re not interested in getting ripped, then get swole. Go for 80mins without a break, and sink a couple of well-earned beers after the “W”. Bring it.

Hobbies: Cooking cupcakes, learning how to make the perfect chicken curry, swearing in mandarin and collecting Pokémon (gotta catch them all)

Favourite Movie / Music / Book (etc): I don’t watch movies or read books. The only music I listen to has to be above 160bpm to help with my workout – the louder the better.
