00:01I'm not going to be a sponsor. It's not the environment I recognise. It's not an accurate reflection.
00:08What I will say is that in the last couple of days, the number of my predecessors have reached out
00:17to me.
00:17And they certainly didn't. They're always supportive.
00:21From a player's point of view, we have full support in Steve.
00:26I've had the privilege of Steve being my coach from 2016 with a little gap when in his Leicester years.
00:36And that's not the man I recognise. The article doesn't represent the environment I recognise.
00:45And I think if you speak to players over his coaching career, they will say a different story.
00:53But no matter how well Steve coaches us, we as players are the ones on the field.
00:57We as players are the ones who have to perform and put it.

01:08I'm going to be here.
01:08And I'll be here on the field.
01:08For a while, I'm going to help in the field.
01:08I'm going to have to start looking out.
