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.

There are times when players have got to feel that if they work hard and they give everything, they get the carrot, but they also need to know that there's a stick. If performance, discipline or attitude isn't good enough, there is a bit of the stick and there will be a punishment.

When you beat England at Twickenham you don't feel the need to make changes to a winning side, but there are areas we think we can improve

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

If you play the game and you think about coaching, you should know it's about listening to people and learning.

My aim is to create a happy environment where the players are working hard, but enjoying themselves. You've got to enjoy yourself, and you've got to have a bit of fun as well.

I get on well with people and I have really good relationships with the other coaches around me. I don't know everything about the games and I'm still learning all the time, so it's important to have an open mind.
