His effort was all the more impressive considering he is a rookie at Premier level.
“I am not sure how I got into rugby. I have just always followed the All Blacks (New Zealand’s national rugby team ) I guess,” Das was quoted as saying.
Das played rugby at school and at a social club when he was 18-year-old. But he gave up playing in his early 20s after facing some injuries. The 30-year-old coach stayed involved in the sport through coaching, getting his start with the university women’s team.
Das, a fourth-year medical student, finds time during his busy schedule to coach rugby.
“Fitting the game into the busy life is a juggling act but easy when you have a passion for the sport,” he said. “There are definitely some long hours. But you can’t have too much of one thing in your life, so I guess rugby gives me some of that balance. I get to do something that I really enjoy and also get to work with some really cool people," Das said.
