If you have raw pace everything else can be worked on. It is a rare human who can propel a cricket ball at above 85mph.

I think the Japanese are concerned with the pace of the yen weakening and you have seen comments from Japanese officials stating that.

I have limited experience, but I know this: moments of connection with another human being are patently rare. But rarer still are those who can recognize such a connection when they see one.

You don't just throw the ball - you propel it.

We've also centrally-contracted our top players which is something the WRU want to replicate and we both have successfully established a thriving academy, ... The use of new technology is another area we've learned from. It's not rocket science. We must ensure the right system is in place to identify the most talented players and develop them accordingly with players spending as much time as possible with the best coaches at the best facilities.

Our approach is common sense in this professional era, and the WRU has ideals we've looked at.
