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.

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

I would like to wish the England squad every success. I would also very much like to extend those wishes to Martin Johnson, Brian Smith, Mike Ford, John Wells, Graham Rowntree and the rest of the England 2011 World Cup management team who have been fantastic and deserve people to know that.

Those Aussie rugby fans are a bunch of sore losers. I hate 'em all.

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.

I'm not necessarily proud of the World Cups and the grand slams won or lost, the amount of points I scored, this record or that.

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