We never got together as a side except on the Friday before a game. We never trained. But on a Friday we met, had some lunch and then had a run around for half an hour or so. You'd meet your scrum-half and you'd run up and down the field with the three-quarters. The pack would practice some lineouts and scrimmaging - maybe with an opposition pack - and then by Saturday afternoon we'd be on the field.

A good interview with the great man. Interesting to hear him say that forwards never used to get much public recognition in his day compared with the backs.
