I play with a fear of letting my team down. That's what motivates me.

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.

I don't like kicking the ball a lot.

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

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.

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

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