00:00 Yeah, even when I first arrived, I got chucked in the deep end when we went to the Marines.
00:05 I was thinking, is this like every camp?
00:09 No, it was, you know, things like that are brilliant to bring people together.
00:13 But yeah, going on from the 2018 World Cup and, you know, some players come and go.
00:20 And as you said, Gareth has created, you know, what it means to represent England and we
00:27 all bought into it, obviously, and Gareth deserves huge credit for that.
00:33 You know, me personally, I've got a lot, obviously, to thank Gareth for, for one, giving me the
00:36 opportunity to represent my country and having that trust in me as well, you know.
00:41 So comparing that to now, it's got so many young players, exciting talent coming through.
00:48 And the most important thing for us, senior players, is making them feel welcome, make
00:52 them settle in straight away so that they can express themselves more and perform at
00:56 the highest level.
00:57 But as you said, the togetherness in the squad, I know we all say it, but it's true.
01:03 We all get on so well and, you know, Gareth deserves huge credit for that.
