Yeah, I was athletic enough to cope, but I was very green and very raw.

Oh, well, obviously, it would have to be going from, like, our first year, I played 2010.

We won about three games.

You know, we didn't beat England, we didn't beat France then, to the 2013 year.

We'd never won a Grand Slam, we'd never beat England.

We'd only beaten France once.

So that year then we bet England for the first time.

I scored a hat-trick in the first half and then we went on to beat France and we won the Grand Slam, which led on then to 2014, beating the Black Ferns.

And I scored a try in that game.

Luckily enough, we made the World Cup semi-final, which was a big thing at the time.

Huge deal.

Like huge.

And I probably, you know, your life moves on, which is good, because I never want to be obsessed about anything again the way I was obsessed with rugby.

Like I don't.

You're very definite about that.

Yeah, like I was, I was intense.

I suppose I don't give off that air probably because I'm quite, you know, jokey, laughy, but I took it very seriously and I put a lot of work into it.

And I am an obsessive type anyway.

Like I definitely like, you know, if I put my mind to something, I'll do it.

which pros and cons to being like that for different things.
