American Dream: The rugby player sacrificing all for the NFL

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

For Christian Scotland-Williamson he'd achieved a dream - playing rugby union with the elite of English rugby for Worcester in one of the top leagues in the world, the Aviva Premiership. But for Christian it wasn't enough. He's sacrificed everything and quit the sport to pursue his lifelong ambition of playing American football in the NFL. He'll touch down in America later this month as he pursues his second dream! Christian told Sportshour how this new adventure began. Photo: Christian Scotland-Williamson (Getty Images)
