Three rules: 1. No conferring. 2. Expand your answers. 3. Always tell the truth.
WHICH OF YOU IS THE FITTEST?
Chris: Currently I’d actually back myself but Mike’s had the better baseline fitness I’ve had to work for it!
Mike: In the gym, Chris. Running I’d have to say me, less weight to carry around!
WHO WOULD MISS THE FIRST CONVERSION KICK?
Chris: Mike 110% - he can’t kick any shape ball to save his life (he knows it too).
Mike: Definitely me. I’ve got a foot like a 50p.
WHO HAS THE HARDEST TACKLE?
Chris: I would say me. It probably helps with the additional weight I have.
Mike: I’d have to say Chris. Let’s put it down to experience.
WHO STARTED PLAYING RUGBY FIRST?
Chris: I did, purely as I was the first born, but we were both playing around 5 or 6 years old. We live in a rugby household.
Mike: We both started playing around the age of 4 or 5, so about the same.
HAVE YOU GOT ANY NICKNAMES FOR EACH OTHER?
Chris: We don’t have nicknames for each other, but when we’re annoyed at each other the odd name calling comes out.
Mike: Either ‘Christoph’ or ‘Crisp’.
WHO IS THE FUNNIEST?
Chris: I’d back myself on this one for the funniest, but I think we have similar humour and both love to crack a joke or send each other hilarious things.
Mike: I’m definitely the comedian, Chris has the odd one-liner.
WHO IS THE BETTER DRIVER?
Chris: Although I’ve been driving longer, I would say Mike as he had a racing rig at home and puts in the time racing. He is actually really good.
Mike: I’m the only one who’s crashed out of the two of us, so technically him. But I’d have him on a race track.
WHICH RUGBY TEAM DOES HE SUPPORT?
Chris: We both support Northampton Saints. So do the parents. There’s now inner family rivalries.
Mike: Northampton Saints.
WHAT/WHO DOES HE LOVE THE MOST?
Chris: He loves his mum the most. Growing up as a mummy’s boy and he’s my mum’s favourite anyways (I know she’ll laugh at that). But I would say he loves his girlfriend Jess.
Mike: Well his missus has him on a leash, so I’d have to say her.
WHAT THREE WORDS WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE YOUR BROTHER?
Chris: Random Fact Expert. He retains useless, but really interesting facts about all sorts of things.
Mike: Confident, dependable, short-fused.
WHO IS THE VAINEST?
Chris: I am haha! And I have nothing else to add.
Mike: Chris, no doubt, he can be a bit of a pretty boy sometimes.
WHO IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE?
Chris: Well as I said I’m the vainest, I’m also taking this one.
Mike: Is it weird to say I’m attracted to my brother? Joking. Definitely me.
WHO IS THE BEST DANCER?
Chris: We’re both terrible dancers, but Mike is probably better as I get told I’m a bit of a dad dancer (mainly by the missus).
Mike: Neither of us, we both manage to Dad dance without being dads.
WHO TAKES THE LONGEST TO GET READY FOR A NIGHT OUT?
Chris: I do! Although I don’t take that long. Mike is in-and-out the shower and dressed. For me, there’s a bit more to it to look pretty.
Mike: Chris. That vain trait comes out whenever he gets ready!
HIS CELEBRITY CRUSH?
Chris: I secretly brought this up and he doesn’t actually have one. But for any lad, someone like Margot Robbie is a safe bet.
Mike: Either Tom Hardy or Chris Evans!
WHO IS THE BEST COOK?
Chris: We’re both pretty good cooks having worked at the Weighbridge Brewhouse in Swindon years ago. But I recently found out my mum think Mike’s the better cook, so I think that’s the decider.
Mike: I’d have to say we’re equal on this one. We’re both house-trained.
WHO IS BETTER AT KEEPING SECRETS?
Chris: I’d say both of us. We don’t go blabbing secrets around and we normally tell each other everything.
Mike: Chris, unless he finds it funny... then everyone will know.
WHO WOULD WIN IN A RUNNING RACE?
Chris: I think Mike would win on this one although it would be closer than some think, and probably he thinks too!
Mike: Me, I’m definitely quicker in a straight line.
WHAT IS HIS FAVOURITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Chris: Any meaty topping would be his favourite but would go pepperoni.
Mike: Pepperoni maybe?
WHO CAN HANDLE THEIR DRINK BETTER?
Chris: I did laugh reading this question. It would be me 100%. Mike isn’t as big of a drinker as I am, but will still try to knock them back.
Mike: Chris definitely. I can still hold my drink. I hope.
WHO WOULD PLAY THEM IN A FILM ABOUT THEIR LIFE?
Chris: Now I don’t actually think Mike has any celeb lookalikes out there. But when he was growing up he had this little afro because his hair was so curly - so someone who comes to mind is Seth Rogan. I’m sure he wont mind that.
Mike: The singer John Newman if he ever took up acting.
WHAT IS HIS WORST HABIT?
Chris: I remember he had athletes foot once and he used to itch it with a sock, which is really gross.
Mike: Not using a toilet brush.
WHO IS THE BETTER SINGER?
Chris: Neither of us would take this one. We’re both not gifted with talented vocals.
Mike: Level on this one. Both absolutely awful.
WHO IS THE CLEVEREST?
Chris: I would say Mike. Academically we’re on a par, but because he retains those useless facts, he’s more clever.
Mike: Chris is more book smart, but I have more common sense.
IF HE WON £100 WHAT WOULD HE BLOW IT ON?
Chris: I think he’d say to me “fancy going to the pub?” and using the lot.
Mike: Clothes, no doubt about it.
FINALLY, WHO IS THE BETTER RUGBY PLAYER?
Chris: I think we’re both good players with different skill sets. But being the vainest, I’d say I’m the better player and a bit more technical (he won’t mind me saying that).
Mike: Chris, but only because he’s got four years experience on me!
