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

I refuse to go into a fast-food outlet - to use the toilet even - in case anyone got the wrong idea and thought I was sneaking in a quick burger.

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

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.

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

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.
