Passionate: Martin Johnson"s team-talks give the feeling is ready to put his boots on and come out to play with the rest of the team
After our practice we will come back into the changing room and Johnno gives a team talk which always gets me going because he is so passionate. You almost feel like he is going to put his boots on and come out with us.
At that late stage before kick-off, the forwards will be getting fired up some will scream and shout, while guys like Ugo and Taity will just be sat there really quiet. Some of the other boys will be in the toilet, really nervous. Some may be sick. Nerves mean everyone is up for it.
You cannot beat that feeling of being in there when the message comes in that there are five minutes to go. Well get in a huddle and all squeeze in tight which just makes it feel like were all together as one.
Then we go.
