Quotes If anything it's given me a bit more of an appetite to get back into it with the national team again and try to get a few more wins and try to win something Hopefully, Age-wise, I'll be able to make that. It's just about whether or not I'm playing well enough, so hopefully I am. I've got no inclination to finish up any time soon internationally. I came straight into something new after the World Cup so that didn't allow me to reflect on it as much as others might have,I think that's fine though. It's always in the back of your mind. I had a call with Gregor just to chat and give my opinion on how we could have done better at the World Cup, how we could develop, and how we could use it as a learning curve for both of us and the whole team. We were both chatting about how we thought the World Cup went, where we can grow and develop from it, how we can get better as a team and us both as individuals - me as a player and him as a coach. It wasn't like we were blaming each other or anything like that, it was just a good conversation to get us going in the right direction. The style of rugby we're playing is very exciting and we're scoring tries but obviously against Ireland in particular we had a disappointing result. We'll have to address a few things from the World Cup that didn't go as planned and we'll have to grow as a group and get better but I'm looking forward to the Six Nations coming round and trying to achieve something I'm feeling good, speaking ahead of Saturday's Champions Cup trip to Cardiff. I came straight back after the World Cup and played the next week so I didn't have a week to dwell on the World Cup. I just wanted to get on to the next thing and get a new focus straight away. After a few games, I had a week off and went to New York with my partner so it was nice to get away and relax I've settled in very smoothly, easily, quickly, which has been brilliant and rugby-wise we've been playing well. So far, so good. I'm enjoying it It's something I know is coming up and it will be at the back of my mind but my main focus for now is doing as well as I can with Bath and Scotland and then we'll get to the Lions when it comes round, I think everyone in the UK and Ireland will have that as their goal after the World Cup but it's quite a while away. I just need to do my job for Bath and Scotland.
