In some ways the players are no different to kids as you've got to set boundaries and you've got to work within those boundaries. If you work hard and you do everything that's asked of you, there's great reward afterwards.

Gethin Jenkins is one of the best loose-head props in the world. He hits up to 40 rucks a game, makes at least 10 carries and even more tackles. Those are amazing statistics for a prop and he is a very intelligent rugby player.

There's no better feeling than sitting on the team bus travelling to the Millennium Stadium knowing that the team will be playing in front of 74,500 people. You're driven through the crowds where you see the smiles on people's faces and I get a huge buzz out of that.

For me coaching was all about being involved, and taking the best qualities from the coaches I had as a player and moulding them into my own personality.

The attitude in terms of how players work both on and off the field has a massive impact on us as coaches but also the performance and how the team does as well.

Coaching is about not being afraid to be challenged and, above all, trying to enjoy the experience.

As a coach, I want players to challenge me, to question me and ask why we're doing a certain thing, so they feel that they're taking ownership.
