No.23 Kevin Wand chats with David Barnes during a training session © Getty Images

I had the great pleasure of sitting next to Micky Steele-Bodger last night at our last team outing before Sunday's game. What a privilege to be able to spend an evening with one of the legends of the game. He has some stories!

Today was a pretty easy day for the boys with no training in the run up to the game tomorrow.
There was a captain's run in Hyde Park which drew a bit of attention from tourists and media alike.

Rushie (Xavier Rush) is relishing the chance to lead the squad out tomorrow. The team are in great shape - despite a long season - and we're all confident they'll put in a good performance at Twickers. Sackey has been getting a bit of banter from his England mates about the game. He's paranoid he's going to head into the wrong changing room by mistake!

I can't beleive I'll be heading to Twickenham tomorrow as part of the Team, sharing all their emotions and following in their foot steps as they prepare for the game.

Early night for us tonight but the guys dont really feel any of the pressure they would if they were playing for their home union. Don't get me wrong, they'd love a win, but as a Baa Baa they are free to just run out, play rugby with some of the stars of the game, and enjoy it.
