Practise things you're good at. Keep on top of things you're not so good at, but be world-class at your best. Never think, 'I'm very good at this and that, I can leave those for a bit.'

You have perspective when little people come into your life. You take the best things you have and let them overshadow your disappointment.

My missus knows to leave me alone.

You never sit on your laurels. It is always a case of trying to work on your deficiencies as much as working on your strengths.

When you are captain, you are never speaking for yourself.

Your name or what you've done on the rugby pitch is not going to carry you through for the rest of your life. I realise I'm going to have to eventually do something else, and that does frighten me a little bit.
