And now the veggie turned carnivore is ready to take a bite out of Los Pumas a Twickenham.

The 23-year-old Londoner admitted: “I used to think I was a dinosaur, genuinely. I used to run around eating leaves, I sweat to you on my life.

“My mum would be like: ‘What are you doing?! You think you are a dinosaur, get in the car! I would just be there eating the leaves. I used to eat all the bushes and leaves. Then I realised that I can’t sustain the lifestyle of just the greens – I like my meat.

“I had to give it up unfortunately, but it was a good time and I learn a lot.”
