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

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

For me now, I will continue to focus ever harder on my goal of being the very best I can be with Toulon Rugby Club and continue to embrace and enjoy wherever that path takes me.

I wouldn't go in a fast food outlet even to use the toilet.

What I am proud of is I have searched for the best of me and I have been a team man without fail.

I know that Martin Johnson [the England coach] was in the stands, but I didn't feel it was up to me to impress them. He and his assistant [Brian Smith] were here to support me.

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.
