I started off playing rugby league as well as union. I switched between fly-half and wing, but I preferred to play fly-half. I liked to be at the heart of everything. I liked to be involved.
I much prefer playing in the centre of the park; that's where I feel comfortable.
The only way you can get match fitness is by playing games.
When you're playing, it's important to focus 100 per cent on what you're doing.
I need to be playing well, be involved in the game, and taking matches by the scruff of the neck.
It's always nice seeing a stadium when it's full, and as players, that's what we want to be playing in front of.
You need to stay in that one position to get consistency that way. Different things are going through your mind when you are playing out right to when you are playing through the middle, so you can't get through that routine of where you want to play.
I was playing first-team football at Cardiff at 16.
I've dealt with a lot of injuries over the years, and you just learn about pain management and how to keep yourself in the best shape to play on Sunday, and then playing with pain.
As you get older, and this is a young man's game, and people say, 'Well, there's no way I can keep up running the way I'm running; there's no way my arm is going to stay as strong as it is.' It's the challenge of trying to stay in my tip-top shape year in and year out so I can keep playing the way I want to play.
