I have a little ritual before every game. I always go to Marinara in Hawthorne and order takeaway. They have the best carbonara I’ve ever had. I’ve been eating pasta before games for six or seven years. It used to be spaghetti bolognese when I was living in Adelaide with mum, but I’m a sucker for a carbonara.

When they realised they couldn’t name a single Australian eyewear brand they knew there was an opportunity in the market, especially for two blokes in their 20s living in the west. That chat was midway through 2015. Fast forward five years, RIXX Eyewear is racing towards its fourth birthday. Time flies when you’re both juggling two different careers at the same time.
