My own position is so far on the obsessive side of preparation and professionalism that I fear my point of view is not going to be shared by anyone.

The problem with me is I always think I should've done better. I felt that after the World Cup final and through my whole career.

I'm pretty aware that the pursuit of perfection is, inherently, a flawed concept.

I want to be more than just some guy who played in a World Cup final.

I like to think I play rugby as it should be played - there are no yellow or red cards in my collection - but I cannot say I'm an angel.

My own position is so far on the obsessive side of preparation and professionalism that I fear my point of view is not going to be shared by anyone.

The conversation topic in my head is not what role I should play; it is whether I am going to play at all.
