I'm a patriot of the heart.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

I'm someone who wears their heart on their sleeve.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I am as passionate about the England team as anyone.

I'm not really the type of person who wears my heart on my sleeve. I keep everything inside.

I was a football fan before I became a rugby fan.

Pulling on your country's shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It's what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.

I certainly wear my heart on my sleeve, and I think that comes out in the characters that I play. There's a yearning, or something, that comes out of me that people relate to.
