And that's hard work.

The Shoalhaven Rugby Club product was enjoying his best Super Rugby season to date in 2020, during his debut campaign with the ACT Brumbies - following a move from the NSW Waratahs.

"We [the Brumbies] had a solid start to the season, including a couple of tight wins - I thought we were building really nicely," Miller, who sees similarities between the country lifestyle in Canberra and on the South Coast, said.

"From a personal point of view, I enjoyed the starting opportunities I've had and I thought I made the most of my chances - which was one of the main reasons I decided to join the Brumbies.

"Their style of play really suits me, from the attacking nature with the ball, to hunting from the inside and the chop tackle focus on defence, allows me to get on the ball more often and play to my strengths.

"And the more I continue to play with my teammates, our combinations will become stronger and benefit the whole squad moving forward."

But after helping the Brumbies to a 5-1 record, including a man of the match performance against the Sunwolves, the Super Rugby season was called off due to coronavirus.

"Obviously it's a frustrating situation for everyone but there's definitely people worse off than us," he said.

"All we can do is stay home and do our bit for society, so we can get to the other side as soon as possible."

With the Super Rugby season being put on hold, Miller returned to the farm a couple of weeks ago with assist family members, father John and siblings George and Maddy.

"I've enjoyed my time back on the farm, even though I've been given the jobs that no one else wants to do," the 27-year-old said.

"Although it's not due to the greatest of circumstances, I love any chance I get back here and get my hands dirty - it's a good way for me to take my mind off what's actually going on around the world and why we aren't playing rugby."

Miller, who's spent close to a month already back in Berry, expects to be in the Shoalhaven for at last another fortnight before potentially returning to the nation's capital.

"Everything's up in the air at the moment, as no one really knows anything," he said.

"The club briefly mentioned they could want us back in May but that will depend on when restrictions start to ease.

"Then in terms of the competition itself, a lot has to be figured out over the next few months, as there is so much international travel involved in Super Rugby.

"It wouldn't surprise me if they try and introduce an amended competition between us and New Zealand, but even that's difficult - I even think we'll see a different competition in 2021.

"I'd even be open to a summer competition - we started in January this season and although it was hot, the extra drinks breaks made it doable and the boys just got on with it.

"Hopefully they sort something out soon though, as I want to get back out on the paddock."

On top of lending a hand on the dairy farm, Miller has been keeping himself fit.

"The club has sent us a training program that they want us to stick to," he said.

"I've also been using mum's gym a few days a week while also trying to run each day when I can."

Although their 2020 season might be derailed, for now, Miller's know his club is headed in the right direction moving forward.

"The key for us so far this season is simply working hard and setting small goals for ourselves," he said.

"If all individuals are doing the right things during this tough time, I'm sure we can pick up from where we left off, whenever that might be."
