He's the budding bio-medical engineer who can do a backflip and can currently be found residing on the Waratahs' right wing. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, meet James Ramm.
Little was known about the 21-year-old when he debuted at Bankwest Stadium a fortnight ago and marked the occasion with a late try, before he emerged from last week's shellacking by the Chiefs as one of the few Waratahs with his head held high after a solid outing in what was his first run-on start.
And Ramm's rise from the 2nd and 3rd XVs at St Josephs College, Sydney, to Randwick Colts, an offer to join the Waratahs' Gen Blue Academy and then onto the senior squad should give hope to any young player who may be about to abandon their rugby career in the often cut-throat world of early talent identification.
Ramm even managed a cheeky trip to Europe, too.
"I played thirds and seconds at Joeys, never got a start in first grade," Ramm told reporters earlier this week. "I started rugby when I went to Joeys and then played all through the years, and then mostly thirds and seconds in my final year; [I] came on for injury a couple of times.
"I finished school in 2015; 2016 I played at Randwick and sort of worked my way up to firsts colts in the end and just loved playing footy again, and then I went to Europe.
"I travelled around Europe for a couple of months at the end of the season, and then Rappy [Waratahs Academy coach Tim Rapp] got in contact with me to do some of the Gen Blue stuff, the 20s stuff, so I came home from Europe and got into that. And then it's really gone upwards from there; I did a couple of years in the academy and [here] I am now."
Dig a little deeper into the James Ramm story and things start to get even more interesting. The Waratahs rookie had never played rugby before he went to St Josephs in Year 7, his early sporting exploits instead reserved for the mats, vaults, bars and rings of the Epping YMCA.
"I was doing 30 hours a week of gymnastics," he explained. "It was elite level, serious training, every day after school for four hours; mornings; Saturday mornings; competing nationally there as well. But I'm very lucky that I got to do that as well, you learn a lot from gymnastics; a lot about your body and a lot about spatial awareness in the air, control. And then I had the choice of continuing with gymnastics or going to Joeys, so that's when [it stopped].
"It was something that my parents wanted both my sister and I to do at an early age just to learn a bit about your body and what you can do, and I sort of just stuck with it. And we had some really good coaches there [Epping YMCA] that helped me through the pathway and eventually I got to compete at a national level. And as I said, when you start getting good at something you start liking it a bit more and you keep going."
Ramm says the floor and vault were among his more favoured apparatus and that he could still do a backflip if asked to do so by his Waratahs teammates, at least after a little bit of practice.
He also believes the fact he wasn't in the school sporting limelight and was instead able to play rugby purely for the enjoyment was vital in his rise to the Waratahs' starting side, so too a fair growth spurt once he graduated.
"It's a bit of a different style of footy from school footy to club footy, and at the start I wasn't like 'I have to make this team or anything,' I was just really enjoying my footy; I love playing," Ramm said.
"When you get recognized and you make a better team, and you make a better team, it makes you want to keep going. So I think I started really loving it again.
"But I did grow a lot out of school to be fair. I definitely shot up after school; I was very gangly, very thin, at school -- I'm still a little bit gangly -- but I put on a couple of kilos and grew up as well."
Having worked his way through the Waratahs Academy and debuted at Super Rugby level a fortnight ago, Ramm's rugby journey is still very much in its infancy.
He will continue to battle it out for a place on Waratahs' wings alongside the likes of Mark Naqanatiwase, Jack Maddocks and others, but if the early signs are any guide he won't be reaching for the leotard again anytime soon.
Ramm is smart enough not to have all his career eggs in the rugby basket, too.
"I'm studying at UNSW [the University of New South Wales], I'm doing engineering," he said. "I'm doing bio-medical engineering there, part time, slowly ticking away. I'll be there for a long time. But it's good to have something going on in the background ... by the time I'm finished it'll probably have all changed. It's a growing field and I find it very interesting; there's something coming out every week about a new bionic eye or a new cochlear implant or something.
"In seven years it will all be different so I wouldn't have a clue [what I'll be doing], but something in that field would be nice."
