Chingford rugby star Ben Bolger says it will be the ‘best moment of my life’ if he gets the nod to play for Harlequins RL against ‘the Barcelona of rugby league’, Melbourne Storm, this Sunday.
Bolger, 20, made his Super League debut for Harlequins just three weeks ago and could find himself up against the NRL champions when the Australian outfit visit the Twickenham Stoop.
“It’s all a bit surreal still. A few months ago I didn’t even know I’d be training with the first team, now I’ve made my Super League debut and I’m loving every minute of it,” said Bolger.
“The Melbourne Storm squad is full of talented and amazing players. They’re like the Barcelona of rugby league.”
