The big thing is they give a big boost of raw energy and enthusiasm and ? you just see the absolute excitement and joy of being part of the national team and it just reinforces to everyone the special sort of place we're in,
It's a great honour. He was a tight forward, so it's amazing that he had such longevity in his career. But it's more about the team and making sure I do my job on the day.
