“They have great respect for their families and their elders and Marcus has that in him. I think that has helped off the field as he has grown up. He’s got loads of confidence but no arrogance and he is very grounded. He is just a respectful young man.

“He grew up with the Sevens, watching players like Jonah Lomu, Waisale Serevi, Christian Cullen and David Campese. He watched seven or eight Hong Kong Sevens during his time in Asia,” Jeremy said, also reminiscing on his own time in Hong Kong: “It was brilliant, Hong Kong is still my favourite place.”
