WATCH: Newport Gwent Dragons' Hallam Amos on rugby and medicine
Friday 16 September 2016 18:24, UK
Hallam Amos spoke to Sky Sports about balancing rugby with university, as he pursues a career in medicine.
The Newport Gwent Dragons back did not hesitate when asked which was tougher between pre-season training and medical exams.
"Pre-season," said Amos. "100 per cent.
"Every year I kind of think 'Oh I don't want to be doing this, I could give it up and just be a uni student!' but when you get through it, it's worth it and you feel better for it on the pitch. But it's hell every year."

"With a medical degree part of it is the journey," Amos added.
"If we could win the PRO12... it may be a long way off with performances not quite being there the last few months, but we're definitely on an upward curve and we can feel that something is going to happen."
