When I’m sitting on the bench I’ll be playing the game in my mind as though I’m on the field. When there’s a lineout I would be thinking ‘if I was out there now what call would I be playing’. And as you see the play unfolding you think what you would do next.

If the time comes in the game and I’m on, I’d like to think I would be someone who would put their hand up in a situation like that.
