It was a joy to see.

I really felt like I was able to learn from them.“I felt like they learned from me, I say that with humility, I really enjoyed seeing their trajectory after, because it shows how much you can grow as players, and as people as well.“With the responsibility that those two had on their shoulders, it was immense because those guys were and they became, at 19, adults representing their country at the highest level.“Big, big stars when they were 20.

It’s enormous.

Straight away I could see that because I could see those players week in, week every day on the training field, even if they had bad days.

The type of dedication that they have for their sport, it’s amazing.”
