A change of environment is pretty refreshing.
Rugby is a game that's constant. If you are not growing with it, you get left behind.
If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
The key to success is hard work. You want to feel as comfortable as you can going into the game, and you do that by preparing well.
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.
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.
Being really competitive, you're hard on yourself when you make a mistake, but then you've got to push on.
I'm well aware of the rules, and I don't want to play to the edge of them.
Anyone can be beaten. I don't think any team is unbeatable.
I think I'm more of a saver than a spender - more because I just like being at home.
You don't go into a game thinking, 'I'm not confident.' You always think you're going to win.
People can say what they want. It is the people inside the camp who count to me. The people around me.
I've always had a rugby ball in my hand, so it was inevitable I was going to play.
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.
The main thing is I've tried to get better at everything - that includes the attacking side, being a threat, and taking people on.
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!
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 don't think anybody goes onto the pitch and wants to go backwards.
I guess I've never really wanted to be anything else. I've never even thought about having another job.
Walking out in front of 80,000 spectators was unbelievable.
