I think harry is playing rugby . I think he is nervous because when you have many people watching you and their eyes are glued to you and if i make a wrong move or miss the ball everybody would be blaming you. I think Harry’s team are exited of what the outcome would be and if its good for them or bad for them . I would chose to be harry because if i win then everybody would be happy for me and would be more nicer then usual. I think harry would be under pressure because everybody is supporting him and you would not know what to do.This makes me feel stressed because I would not know what to do.I would give the advice to go somewhere quiet and squish a stress-ball or something squishy .
