This was held at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, home of the Leeds Rhinos rugby league team and Hall found himself competing alongside six of the ten finalists from World's Strongest Man 2011, including two-time World's Strongest Man, Žydrūnas Savickas. Later, in April 2012, he was invited to compete at Europe's Strongest Man, another Giants Live event. He placed fourth in his first taste of international competition. Winning the UK title meant that Hall became the first choice to replace Jono MacFarlane of New Zealand in the Giants Live Melbourne event in February 2012, when the latter suffered a back injury. However, his improved ranking could only guarantee a spot for 2012, and he did not compete at WSM in 2011. Hall tore tendons in an arm during the competition, but was hopeful of a spot at the World's Strongest Man (WSM) in September.
