Peter Bills talks to Harlequins' Nick Evans as the former All Blacks star makes himself at home in the English Premiership. New Zealand Herald.
"It is a lifestyle to be envied. Nick Evans' journey to work each morning at Harlequins rugby club takes him on a 10 minute drive through Richmond Park. It is a journey through the fauna, flora and history of one of England's great parks. He calls it "a lovely way to go to work".
"Here, Evans can see deer grazing, as they have done for centuries. Richmond was one of royalty's great hunting parks. Indeed, King Henry VIII is said to have been out hawking in the park one day in 1536 when he heard the bells of nearby London pealing, telling of his wife Anne Boleyn's execution."
