Ethan Roots’ Unconventional Path to Six Nations Success

England flanker Ethan Roots originally from New Zealand had a unique journey to his Six Nations debut but now finds joy in rugby again after overcoming challenges. Despite initially falling out of love with the game due to his size, Roots rediscovered his passion leading to a standout performance against Italy earning him the man of the match title.

His path included dabbling in jiu-jitsu and kickboxing before returning to rugby eventually joining Exeter Chiefs. Roots reflects on the significance of his journey and the support of his family particularly his mother who surprised him by attending his debut match in Italy. Looking ahead Roots is excited for future opportunities with England including facing his former Ospreys teammates when Wales visits Twickenham in the next round of the Six Nations.
