A. (laughs) Yeah, I didn't think rugby would be my ticket to go see all these places. Coming from the islands, I just wanted to explore more. That's why I chose Montana, which was completely out of nowhere. I had no idea what this place was about.

Q. What's been your favorite tournament or trip?

A. Two stick out for me. Dubai (at the Emirates Dubai Rugby Sevens tournament in December 2014), when I had my debut where I scored my first try. That still is one of my favorite places; a lot happened for me being on the squad for the first time, playing my first game just scared out of my mind in front of, like, 60,000 people. Basic things like catching and passing, when I stepped on the field I was like, "I don't even know how to do this." But after the first whistle I was like, "OK, I can do this." That and this recent one in Vancouver where I played really well and was selected for the Dream Team.

A. It's got to be really interesting competing with and against all these guys from different cultures.
