What coffee do you drink?
BREX: Cappuccino.
RUZZA: A neat, classic espresso. Maybe I drink too many.
If you could choose one person to write your biography, who would it be?
BREX: My dad and my mum.
RUZZA: I would say Edoardo 'Edo' Padovani, because he knows me well and he could write true and funny things, and he could do a good job.
What artist or band would play the soundtrack to your career?
BREX: Maluma. A Colombian artist who mostly does reggaeton.
RUZZA: U2.
Which player do you wish you could have played alongside?
BREX: Felipe Contepomi.
RUZZA: Kieran Read.
And one that you’re glad you never had to play against?
BREX: Brian O'Driscoll.
RUZZA: Jonah Lomu.
Which of your teammates could swap from forwards to backs, and vice versa?
BREX: I’d move Luca Morisi to hooker, because I know he'll take it badly! Ivan Nemer could be a powerful inside centre.
RUZZA: Definitely Luca Morisi as hooker, and I hope he reads this interview! Among the forwards would be me, or maybe Gianmarco Lucchesi, as a centre.
Is there a film that the whole world seems to love, but you don’t really get?
BREX: The Lord of the Rings. I've never seen it because it's too fantasy and I don't like that kind of film.
RUZZA: A recent one, Avatar 2. Loads of people liked it, but I didn't. I wasn't convinced by the narrative or how the story was constructed.
What’s your favourite memory of the Guinness Six Nations?
BREX: Apart from making my debut, which is a personal memory, I’d say the 2022 victory in Cardiff against Wales. It’s a collective memory for the entire team.
RUZZA: Definitely the best moment was the win in Wales, along with my debut. I’ve rarely experienced such strong emotion on a rugby field.
If you were to decide to go backpacking around the world, which of your teammates would be the most useful companion?
BREX: Pierre Bruno, because he's a bit of a crazy guy who really loves travelling the world, almost at random, and can easily make friends with everyone.
RUZZA: There are only a few, but maybe I'd take Niccolò Cannone because he'd be able to make food from anything.
