For eight years they lived in each others pocket, lived and breathed rugby.\u00a0 When he was sixteen, his father got a job back in Australia, and if he he had hated them when he was eight it was ten times worse when he was sixteen.<\/p>\n

They worked to keep their relationship, and Ben had to admit it got easier when Darren made it to Australia.\u00a0 Then he shocked him by introducing him to the owner of the Tasmania Devils ‘The Marquis’ and Kai.<\/p>\n
