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

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

You don't go into a game thinking, 'I'm not confident.' You always think you're going to win.

I have some special things at home, but not too many. I've got two shirts framed - that's all - my first Premiership final with Saracens and my first England cap. They're not signed by anyone; they're not even washed. They stink!

One-on-one, you have to be able to put your head down and get stuck in.

I had to write 1500 words on advertising and marketing at the weekend for my business management course, and you can't think about rugby while you are doing that!

I am very cautious, and there are not too many decisions I've not discussed with my parents, whether that be about my career or away from the field.

It's irrelevant whether it's a big match or not. It's about focusing on your job at the time. You're still trying to do things as well as you can.

I think I'm more of a saver than a spender - more because I just like being at home.

The best way to stay cool is to stay focused - you have to focus on your job. As soon as you take your eye off that, you will slip up, so you have got to have everything 100 per cent on what is in front of you.

It's obviously a massive honour to captain your country.

I've got a lot better at dropping emotions if something goes wrong, or right.

When you're relaxed, you are more decisive.

Confidence can be elusive because you don't know you've lost it. It's not something you can put your finger on.

It's not just that the lows make the highs more meaningful. They actually help you figure stuff out. You have to work out where you went wrong and what you need to do to get better.

I'm no good at sitting on a beach and doing nothing.

The main thing about being captain is keeping your own performance good, and then everything else should fall into place off the back of that.

I've always been comfortable speaking, especially on the field. Probably not as much off the field.

You can either let the pressure get to you or let it help it make you better.

I'm not trying to be anyone else.

There's always things to get better at, and there's always stuff to learn when you come into training.

Other players do not rib me for being the coach's son. They rib me more for living at home with my mum and dad.

Your focus has to switch to being as good as you can be for your club.

I've just been trying to improve - it's a not a deliberate thing to focus on one thing.

I'm competitive, I'll look to do my job on the field, and that's all that matters.

Everyone has changed, haven't they? Everyone tries to get better; everyone tries to grow.

It's always a balance... being clear-headed but being aggressive and as combative as you need to be.

You can become obsessive, but you enjoy it - that's what you like doing. It is just how I am. I don't try my hardest to be like this.

You have to be a voice; you have to be able to speak up.

If I was to sit there and think about anything, it would be, 'What can you look forward to, what can you put your time into, and what can help you grow up?'

I don't have too many gadgets in the house. I do like playing computer games every now and again, though.

I would never think of myself as a celebrity.

I like watching any good players.

You always look at a game and see what you can take out of it to help you go to the next level.

I've proved what I can do in bits, but I need to get better at everything.

Obviously, international rugby is a different level, but there are some really good players around.

Big games are usually about doing the simple things well - not trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

You review a game. You don't brush over anything you did well and look at anything you could improve. There's stuff to get better at, it's not hard to find.

Sometimes you get put into difficult situations where both players are trying to go forward, and it's tough to be able to be as clean as you'd like to be.

I was always watching Dad lift trophies. That made me want to do what he does.

I'm my own person, and I don't expect anything from anyone.

You always think you're ready earlier than you are.

I spent my time chasing rucks and never managing to hit any, so I quickly switched out to the backs.

For me, you just get on with what's in front of you. It's always been the case.

You must be confident and on top of all the plays you call.

You always want to hear from the best about how to be the best.

I want to learn, but I also want to show that I can cope. That's what you always want to do, to step up and perform.

There will be nothing better than playing international rugby. It's a dream come true.

In the holidays at school, I used to go training with my dad every day. I used to see the hard work that went in behind what was an unbelievable Wigan team.

I don't know how many times you see 10s tackle each other.
