Maro Itoje has maintained a decade-long relationship with his barber Moussa, witnessing his own growth from a teenager to a seasoned rugby player. Ahead of his tour to Australia, he acknowledges the challenge of finding a suitable barber and expresses trust in Moussa's skills. Acknowledging the role of faith in his career, Itoje emphasizes that his promotion to captaincy aligns with what's considered 'God's timing.' He admits to previously being a 'lukewarm Christian' but has since committed more deeply to his faith, recognizing all his successes as gifts from a higher power.
"When I was promoted to England captain in January, my pastor was one of six people I told before the public announcement."
"I was probably a lukewarm Christian for a large part of my life. I was someone who went to church, but was not really living the principles or values of it that deeply."
