I think the stress of being number one in the world is a motivating factor for me just because I don't want to lose it, it's really important for me to make sure I stick to my processes and do all the hard work I can to try to stay there for as long as I can.

I'll start to expect more not only from The Australian but the team come 2020. I think we've learnt a lot and personally I have, the results haven't always been what we wanted but I definitely don't see it being a year to forget or anything like that. Far from it.

You're no-one. You think you're important. You have no idea what's going on. You're a disgrace.

I'm the first one to put my hand up in regards to that because unfortunately, it has to start at the top, and I've made mistakes with regards to not mentally being there, you can obviously see my results in Korea and I wasn't mentally there unfortunately with regards to being there for the team when I needed, performing for the team.

The attack on any Muslim or any innocent person anywhere around the world is an attack on all Muslims and all people, this is a human and an international tragedy, not only a Muslim and NZ tragedy.

The guys came together really well. We're obviously pleased with our performance because we played a top team today, we want to play good England rugby ... and I think we did that reasonably well.

I had no idea where the ball was going today, especially off the tee, i missed a lot of fairways, missed a lot of greens. My short game stood the test, which is nice. This is probably one of the best wins I've ever had, just because of how hard everything was today.

Max is a serious F1 driver and that's actually really good for me, i think in a way it is good that he is having this success. If I can get on top of that then it is only good for me and probably for both of our careers.

Obviously the guy is doing a nice job, when you think about it it’s kind of cool. I’ve been kind of peeing on that parade, but you know what I’m saying. We don’t need to put the cart before the horse.
