It's the first time I've been cold for seven years. I was never cold playing rugby league.
In 2011 I stopped playing rugby for England so during the Six Nations, which is on during February and March, I was able to grab a week's skiing. But I still had to take it pretty easy because I didn't want to get injured while I was playing for Gloucester. In 2013, when I retired fully from rugby, I finally had the chance to go a couple of times a season.

They always lose when it matters (getting it wrong about England in the rugby world cup final 2003).
Rugby is a game for the mentally deficient. . . That is why it was invented by the British. Who else but an Englishman could invent an oval ball?
Ballroom dancing is a contact sport. Rugby is a collision sport.
Sport was an obvious favourite of mine, and not only golf. I was, and still am, a big rugby fan.
Me and Tricky like playing with each other.
The whole point of rugby is that it is, first and foremost, a state of mind, a spirit.
I played ten injury-free years between the ages of 12 and 22. Then, suddenly, it seemed like I was allergic to the twentieth century.
Rugby is a game for barbarians played by gentlemen. Football is a game for gentlemen played by barbarians.
