WINNING 2018 NATIONS TITLE

There isn’t a chance we would look past Wales. The Welsh have a whole new confidence and are playing similar to Scarlets, throwing the ball around, scoring incredible tries. They only gave away two penalties last week against England. We know it’s not going to be easy against them and we’re going to have to be at 100 per cent.

LIFE AFTER RUGBY

Genuinely that’s something I’m worried about. I don’t know what I’m going to do. Unfortunately, I have no education. If I could have my time back, I would have concentrated in school and possibly went to college. That’s something I’m going to have to look at for the next two or three years. Coaching? I’m not sure about that either.

BEING THE OLD GUY

Years ago, they were saying: Why would you help young wingers when they’re coming for your spot? I can help, but I back my own talent as well. It’s quite surreal the likes of Jordan (Larmour, above) coming in at 20. That used to be me. Being one of the oldest is bizarre but great. It’s satisfying helping them out.
