Right through to the end of the last World Cup game, I still couldnt bear the thought of not being perfect or letting people down.

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.

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

To say I have played through four World Cups, two Lions tours, 91 international games and a ridiculous number of injuries and other setbacks gives me an incredibly special feeling of fulfilment. I know myself well enough to know that I will never truly be satisfied.

Playing the game, representing the team, giving my all and never letting go has meant everything to me.

I do, have done and always will believe that I am very capable of performing and thriving at any level of the sport.

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.
