| Question | Chris 40 | Andy Goode | Matt M | Andy Williams |
| Who in your opinion is the best ever player in your position? | Sean Fitzpatrick | Dan Carter - every part of his game is brilliant | Tony Woodcock | Joost van der Westhuizen and Gareth Edwards |
| What do you think of the play offs this season and as players how to best deal with it? | %$&*@!!! | The play offs in the premership are accepted. Difficult in the Championship as we shouldn't be in this situation as it makes it hard for the club to plan ahead for the next Season. Confident that we will finish top and win the play offs. | Can understand why the RFU decided to do it to get more revenue. Don't agree with it as in the situation of Bees when they lost all the games but stayed up because they won enough in the playoffs | It's going to be cup rugby with no 2nd chances |
| What has been the toughest game which you have been involved in ? | Gloucester v Bath Powergen 2005 | Premiership Final for Leicester with it being my last game for Tigers | ECC Final v Bath | Gloucester19 Bath 24 AET, Powergen semi final. I scored the winning try, the game seemed to go on for sooo long ( and yes Chris 40 was in that game!) |
| What influenced you to start playing rugby (School, Club, Parents etc ) and what persuaded you to stick with it? | At school my brother and I were big lads so we were put in the front row and we stayed there! | My brother's 6th birthday, we went to Barkers Butts Rugby Club in Coventry. I cried as I wanted to play. The coach came over and invited me to join in and never looked back. Played along side my brother in England Schoolboys | Went to a school that didn't play football | Always sporty at school. Started at Dunvent and then went to Bath. |
| What is the most unusual pre game superstition you have or have witnessed? | Don't have any of my own but Hors was always sick before a game.. Really hated that!!! | My daughter always chooses my lucky socks at the start of the season and I never put my match shirt on until I can see the pitch. We asked Andy why he wears red shorts - he said it was because they were given black ones which kept getting pinched so he decided to buy red ones so no one would get away with pinching them! | Like to wear the same boots and underwear. I pack and unpack in the same way each game | Lots of habits, but if I think I will need a bit of guidence out there I write my Nan's name on my wristband to help me. |
| What song would you chose to be played after you scored a try or kicked points during a game? | Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon, changed to Fortey's on Fire!! | The Reflex - Duran Duran | ||
| Which law/rule change would improve the game | Breakdown area - what a mess! | Games to be reffed like they are in the Southern Hemisphere which are a lot quicker. To allow fair competition for the ball. | To make the game quicker by reducing some of the full arm penalties to short arm penalties like in the S14s | Ruck area, contact area needs to be reffed more consistantly |
| Which player/coach has been the most influential in your career to date | Ian Jones at Gloucester and Dean Ryan | Pat Howard - best coach ever Dean Richards for giving me my first break | Brain Ashon and Reg | Jon Callard at Bath who used the training programmes designed by Richard Hill when he was there. |
| If you got stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you want with you ? | Daughter, Wife and Dog | Food | ||
| If you had not been a professional rugby player what do you think you would have been | I am a bench joiner by trade so that's what I would be | |||
| Is there any other sport you are good at or one you rubbish at and would like not to be? | Good at most sports but need to brush up my golf (Soundly seconded by Jake Abbott!!) | Good a cricket | ||
| What made you decide to come to Warriors and what do you expect to achieve whilst here? | Richard Hill, came under his influence at Bath and lots of coaches have forgotten how to play but Richard hasn't | |||
| What comes after the rugby career is over? | Lecturing in Sport and coaching rugby | |||
| What's the best piece of advice you've ever received or given | Be humble and always try your best | Happy Wife , Happy Life (Ben McDonald, head of Head Of Medical Services at Sixways) | Be yourself and always speak to people how you would speak to your Mum | |
| Which match are you most looking forward to in the Championship and why | All look good, we need to give each team the same level of respect | Not looking forward to the long trips, looking forward to the finals | ||
| Which team mate would you least like to be trapped in a lift with | Tal Selley, very wired very nervy! | |||
| Who has been the worst "room-mate" you have ever had - both at club level and International (if applicable) | No one in particular but would hate to share a room with any one with personl hygene issues and/or untidy! | Pascal Idieder | ||
| Who would you say is the best player you have played against in your career so far? | Jonny and Billy Whizz | Richard Hill of Saracens, you never saw him coming and you got tackled, the ball ripped off you and he was gone before you hit the floor! |
