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

Rugby has always been a game for all shapes and sizes. You have the superstars and the fast guys who score the tries, but you also need the workhorses and the people who play all the other roles. Unless they all work together as a team then it's really going to affect the performance. Everyone's got to rely on everyone else.

A lot of coaching is about results and if you don't get the right results, you're going to get criticism, but if all things are going well then you can enjoy yourself.

We've all seen talented young players who get to a certain level but there comes a point where that talent will only take you so far. The great players go away and work on extra things. They work harder on their skills, they start having early nights and they think about their diet and training. That is what takes them to the next level.

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

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.

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.
