Now for the first time, the captain is one of Itoje’s last appointments before going to Australia, the vest of his vest.
“For a while,” says Itoge and Moussa.
“There will be a challenge on the tour.

“The humility I’ve been trying to embody throughout my life comes from knowing that everything is a gift, not with my own work, but by the man on the upper floor.”
