Worcester's Zimbabwe-born backrower Kai Horstmann gets the honour of being the last player to answer this batch of questions...
Which cartoon character/superhero would you most like to be?
Batman because of his gadgets and cars.
Childhood crush?
The girl from Top Gun. Growing up in Zimbabwe we only owned two films, Top Gun and Blackadder, so she didn’t have a huge amount of competition!
How many profiteroles can you eat in one sitting?
I reckon about 10, I’ve got more of a savoury tooth.
Which team-mate would you least like to fight?
Gavin Quinell, it would be like fighting a bear.
If you could go back in time, where would you go?
Probably the 60s, I’d make friends with Elvis and get in his slips.
One day left to live, what do you do?
Play a round at Augusta then have some beers in the clubhouse with my girlfriend,
friends and family. I’d also have U2 doing the music.
Which team-mate is most akin to a footballer?
Ryan Powell, he has more toiletries than a beauty salon.
Favourite tour tale?
I’m not at liberty to disclose that info I’m afraid.
Worst/best prank you've ever seen?
Matt “the chin” Powell once kidnapped my dogs whilst I was at training and dug a
tunnel at the end of my garden so I thought they had escaped. He left me stewing for about three hours while I looked for them before sending me a text “woof woof, help help”. I’m plotting my revenge at the moment.
Player you'd least like to room with and why?
Any of the front row for obvious reasons.
Most memorable team-talk?
The film Braveheart had just been released when I was at school, so our captain at
Doug “the head” decided to do our team talk in a Scottish accent as he thought it
would psych us up better. Needless to say we were all pissing ourselves and played
terribly.
Who thinks he's the best player at your club?
We’ve got a few of them.
What's your worst fear?
Being eaten alive by a crocodile but I've heard all you've got to do is poke them in
the eyes and they'll let go, so I'm sorted.
How much was your first ever wage packet?
500 Zimbabwe dollars. I had to work on the farm for my mum all summer to pay off and load of windows and vases I’d broken
Funniest thing your coach has ever done/said?
I bumped into Mike Ruddock leaving the club in his running gear and he said he was
off for a run. 30 seconds later I saw him driving out the club in his Land Rover.
That’s a wired sort of run I thought to myself, perhaps I could try and blag that
one in pre season. When we quizzed him about it later he said “I’m not going for a
run round here so you lot can take the piss!” Fair play.
Aside from your own, who's got the fittest missus?
There’s no way I can answer that I’m afraid.
