"I think in the squad that we have at the moment we are in a very good place where we do look after each other, if someone is under the microscope or feeling a little bit of heat then we tend to look after each other and we've all been through it before, probably not quite as much as it is going to be, but similar things and the guys who have been to previous World Cups they can hopefully give us their experience. We're looking forward to it as a 31 (man squad) and as coaches, management, we're there for each other along with our family
