Bio: Jim is a rugby whore, who continues to enjoy beating on his own teammates when not on the Grey side of the pitch. He has played six games in one day; and has played for nine different teams over a three day period. These actions have allowed him to be granted access into the hallowed halls of the “Whoresmen”. A traveling side of traitorous ruggers, who only care about how much time they can log on the pitch.
