“I want to be a good person.” — Gareth Thomas

It has always been my ambition to be captain of Wales over a sustained period of time.

When I first started at Bridgend, I'd see the amount of work Rob Howley put in on his own after the team had all gone home. He was doing ridiculous amounts. So I started training like him. Always on my own.

I am not interested in individual glory.

You tell that to people until you are blue in the face and they struggle to believe it, but I am being totally truthful when I say that all that matters to me is Wales winning.
