I've got a good Barbarians squad including Australian backs who have played together. Gavin Henson would make a fool of himself if he was way off the pace. Not having made a tackle or played a game for so long beforehand would be a disadvantage. It would be ideal if he has a couple of games first, but who with?

The Olympics are every four years and I think every athlete who competes in the Olympics wants the gold medal, and I think that's what the World Cup is for a rugby player - it's the gold medal.
George Gregan

I want to reach for 150 or 200 points this season, whichever comes first.
Dan Carter

I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

New Zealand are the best team in the world - the execution and accuracy of their skills were a lesson in modern rugby.
Josh Lewsey

I may not have been very tall or very athletic, but the one thing I did have was the most effective backside in world rugby.

My goodness, that wee ball's gone so high there'll be snow on it when it comes down.
Bill McLaren

You don't like to see hookers going down on players like that.

Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.

I was absolutely a non-starter at games. My report for rugby said, 'Nigel's chief contribution is his presence on the field.' I used to pray for rain and sometimes it did rain - and we played anyway.

There are only two excuses you can use for missing rugby training - death and docking!

Sort of desolate, decayed, the smell of - I don't want to dramatise it - but death, you know. That is what it feels like, no-man's-land, and it is not a nice place to be.

I have lost three semi-finals at Newlands. I was hoping that last year would be a lucky number three. It was close, but we could not make it.

This morning I was standing in the shower and thought how I was sick of losing and how it was about time I had a big game.

I think the main message is that world rugby needs New Zealand and New Zealand needs world rugby.

I was on the computer the other day and typed my name into Google. Everything on there was bad. I hope in a few years there might be something there about me playing football.

Rugby players are either piano shifters or piano movers. Fortunately, I am one of those who can play a tune.
Pierre Danos
Image
I like to think I play rugby as it should be played - there are no yellow or red cards in my collection - but I cannot say I'm an angel.
Jonny Wilkinson
Image
No leadership, no ideas. Not even enough imagination to thump someone in the line-up when the ref wasn't looking.
J.P.R. Williams
Image
He's the best centre in the game I think, definitely the best in the Super League by far.
Thomas Leuluai

It's an exciting place to go, really. The rain, the drizzle, the cold, the depressing people, the smokes in the bath ... I don't know of anyone who has been to Blackpool and enjoyed it.
Ian Hindmarsh
Image
I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body.
Winston Bennett
Image
He's the sort of player whose brain doesn't always know where his legs are carrying him.

As a teenager, I was always this strange mixture of kind of vice-captain of the rugby team and sensitive artist type the rest of the time. I was sent away to this public school in the middle of nowhere, and I think we managed to completely miss out on normal youth culture.
