I reckon every player feels much the same on the eve of a Six Nations championship. We all want to finish top, win the title and do our respective countries proud in the process.

We like to be the people who go – can go out into the world and say we’re the people seeking places that need bridges built and need the kind of energy that we bring, and then actively doing the show.
