At the beginning of 2015, I commenced a Certificate in Freelance Sportswriting and Photography course with Open Colleges as part of my goal of becoming a sports journalist.
The tutors were evidently impressed with my work, and in July I received an email from a staff member asking if I would contribute to their blog. The task was to write a short preview for the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup.
Now, my family has lived in Victoria for 160 years. My sports are cricket, basketball and Australian football; Rugby Union has never even featured on my radar. Nevertheless, I thought I'd give it a go. I put it off for three weeks, sat down the day before it was due, did some research and put the article together.
This is the final product:
