00:00 Trying to win a World Cup, it's something to go and get. It's not something that puts
00:03 pressure on me. It's something that you dream of. Probably not as a kid because when we
00:09 were kids we didn't dream of Ireland winning the World Cup. I suppose we've put ourselves
00:14 in a position now to go and do that. But it's something to go and get. It's not something
00:19 to be pressured about. I haven't thought about my own career to be honest. I'll think about
00:24 it more when I finish. It's all geared up towards a massive game on Saturday. A massive
00:31 challenge for this team. The biggest we've faced and we're looking forward to it. Rugby
00:34 is one of those games where when you go onto the field you go to beat the crap out of each
00:42 other for 80 minutes. When you step off it you're very happy to grab a beer with your
00:48 opposition number and enjoy the moments afterwards. It's no different with New Zealand. That
00:55 happened. One thing I will remember from New Zealand was after the last test and we'd beaten
01:02 them we ran out of beer pretty quickly. The New Zealand squad were pretty quick to bring
01:09 in their beer and leave us continue celebrating. That's respect too isn't it? Off field respect
01:16 and it'll be no different on Saturday. We're both going to go at each other for 80 minutes.
01:23 We'll be very happy to walk into the changing room and have a beer with them for sure.
