Communicating and being loud is a big part of my game.

Walking out in front of 80,000 spectators was unbelievable.

There is a difference going onto the pitch with No. 10 on your back rather than No. 12, and you need to have a clear understanding and be unbelievably prepared for what you are going into and what you will face.

The main thing is I've tried to get better at everything - that includes the attacking side, being a threat, and taking people on.

Anyone can be beaten. I don't think any team is unbeatable.

When I was a bit younger, I made too much of trying to stick up for myself. But I don't need to prove that I'm not soft or too young any more.

Obviously every team is different, and you don't want to try and be them.

I don't think anybody goes onto the pitch and wants to go backwards.

I'm well aware of the rules, and I don't want to play to the edge of them.

People can say what they want. It is the people inside the camp who count to me. The people around me.

I guess I've never really wanted to be anything else. I've never even thought about having another job.

The start of the game is a bit of a tone-setter for what's to come, but that's not always the case.

I do a lot of kicking practice and passing, and it has made a massive difference.

I've always had a rugby ball in my hand, so it was inevitable I was going to play.

I'm pleased to have been able to contribute to some good team performances.

I get treated like everyone else, and that's the way it should be.

First and foremost, I just have to be myself.

You cannot focus on things that are so far in the future when you've got things that you can't take your eye off now.

You don't really get fly-halves battering each other.

I'd say I am a fly half. As regards being 12 for England, I've not tried to play any different. I guess I've been like another 10. Obviously, you do some things differently, and you might not have your hands on the ball as much - but you're still in the game and constantly communicating.

Not everyone plays their best game every week.

You can't be asking people to do things you're not willing to do yourself.

I enjoy playing. I enjoy training. I enjoy thinking about it, I enjoy talking about it.

Being really competitive, you're hard on yourself when you make a mistake, but then you've got to push on.
