That Is why I am so passionate about rugby. I've seen what it can do close up. Camaraderie, discipline, leadership, personal responsibility and fun. They are all part of the magical mix. And best of all you don't have to be at the top to enjoy it.

I am a grassroots man through and through, and often the less you have the more you can do. Thanks to Sky and their School of Hard Knocks, I've travelled the country recruiting at risk youngsters. They've been faced with problems such as long term unemployment, homelessness, drug addiction and gang violence. By building them into a team and giving them the chance to train, we've seen them grow as people and as players, with many of them going on to secure employment and a new start.

That's what sport can do and that's why I also give my time to Beyond Sport - a global organisation that promotes, develops and funds the use of sport to create positive social change. Through the Beyond Sport Awards programme, $1.5 million worth of funding and business support is provided annually to projects across the world that use sport to address issues within their communities.

Start small, aim big, make massive changes. The grassroots is where it all begins.
