Every rugby player in Australia and New Zealand or wherever they are from wants to play in the World Cup, and I am no different.
From Sonny Bill Williams
Although the rugby league fraternity probably don't like it, the rugby union fraternity probably doesn't like it, it's cool for sportsmen, for young kids coming up, to know that there's not just that one door.
My biggest challenge for myself is to be the best father I can be and be the best husband I can be.
I was never going to be a rocket scientist. But I found the field that I was blessed to be able to do, and I just put my whole effort into that.
Seeing my daughter for the first time after I came back from the tour was just a life-changing experience... it still blows my mind.
Beforehand you think, 'Oh, changing nappies - I'm going to be up; I need to get sleep for training.' But when it happens, when you're there, as soon as you hear a wiggle or a cough or something, you're up straight away. It doesn't bother you.
That's the beautiful thing about being a father for the first time; it has really made me get my concentration levels in check.
Now I am just focusing on my daughter, my wife, religion, and training.
For myself, it's trying to do my best in whatever I am doing. At this time, it is boxing; then when I get home, I want to be the best father, the best husband, the best man I can be.
I'm a lot more comfortable in the ring. I'm comfortable catching punches, and defensively, I feel like I've improved a lot. I am banking on my athleticism. I've worked hard on my footwork.
