The worried player is heard telling his coach: "Everyone's older than me, everyone's bigger than me!”
His teammate takes matters into his own hands and tells him: "Listen to me. Trust me. Look at me, Bob. I am the shortest kid here, it doesn't matter if you're short, if you're young. It doesn't matter if you're tall, or if you are fat here," he said.
"You are a brilliant rugby player. Do you understand that? You are insane! You are actually insane for your age. Right, give me a hug."
The coach, who was clearly blown away by the moment, can be heard saying: “Best teammate ever.”

Charlotte added: “I think to say that, to lift the spirits of another member of the team who is struggling, I think we all need a Jack in our lives. We all need someone who gives us a hug, whatever is going on – ‘you’ve got this’”.
