Yeah, very good.

Really excited, very proud, immensely proud.

Yeah, lots of work to do at the moment, but yeah, pretty pumped, absolutely.

Is there any other version?

Everybody says that about every Englishman.

I don't know anybody who would say, no, I wouldn't ever do that job.

I think everybody would want it.

But I don't think it's something you chase either.

I don't think it's something you're out there to pursue and it's on the top list.

What you've got to do is your job at club level really well.

And hopefully that opportunity comes your way.

Yeah, listen, if everything you do in your career to represent your country, to represent your nation, as you're well aware, is a big deal.

And then to be the coach of that team, it'd be my proudest moment in my career.

Regardless what we do this year, regardless how the World Cup goes.

Because the responsibility you have, I just don't know whether you get given that much responsibility ever again.

I remember coaching the Rhinos for many years and that was a responsibility.

They were a...

a winning team, and when I joined, they'd already won a few things, and you had to keep that up.

And I felt some pressure and some responsibility to deliver.

And at times it gets a bit, it can be a bit overwhelming, and especially when you're not winning.
