Uh, Courtney Lawes has come the other way after two seasons at Brive.

He's now at Sale, and he's now available for England again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, often get stick on the pod because I sort of, when players are in their later 30s, I say, "Oh, they might be coming towards the end of their career." And Danny Care [laughs] was going, "No, you stop retiring people." But when you left into the sunset at Twickenham, having won the title with Northampton a couple of years ago, I think most people may have assumed a couple of years in Brive and then retirement.

So, A, did you think that would be the case? Did you expect to be playing still two years on and C, how do you, how do you feel?
