What phobias do Nigel Owens and Joe Marler have? And which England international hates Ketchup?

Henry Slade: “I’ve got two, actually three. The first one is ketchup. I don’t like anything about it – not the taste, not the texture, not the smell. If you get a bit on your finger, the smell stays there for ages, even if you wash your finger. I don’t like brown sauce much, so I tend to go for mayonnaise. Snakes and sharks are my other phobias.

Stuart Hogg: “I’ve always hated snakes. When I was young I went to Deep Sea World near Edinburgh and there were snakes there. I was the only one who got to touch them. Even if they’re on the telly, I’ll lift my feet off the ground and get them up on the couch.”

Wayne Barnes: “I’m petrified of heights and our offices are on the 25th floor of the Shard!”

Tom Varndell: “No, but I dislike mushy peas. I’ve disliked them since I was a child – my mum isn’t the best cook in the world.”

Donncha O’Callaghan: “Cotton wool. I don’t like the noise it makes when you pull it apart, that squeak. It freaks me out.”

Danny Cipriani: ” Big heights. I look down and it makes you want to jump. It’s called something… vertigo.”

Dan Carter: “I hate rats. If I see a rat, I have to jump up on the table because I hate them.”
