Lewis MoodyMaximum Rugby stepped inside the England camp thanks to main sponsors O2, to have a chat with Lewis Moody, who was speaking on behalf of the England Rugby team.

Who were your England rugby heroes when you were growing up? (Question asked Maximum Rugby user John, from Crewe)

Will Carling and Dean Richards

Have you always played in your position?

No, I was a centre until I was 17 and then moved to the back row

Do you train every day before a big International?

I train when the team trains so generally you train hard at the start of the week and then take it down sort of towards the end in the build up to the game.

Who do you most admire away from Rugby and why?

My wife, she’s my rock. She’s just a star.

What has been your most memorable match to date and why?

The World Cup final. Coming on in the last seven minutes and the boys deciding to throw the final line out of the game to me, which was in the build up to Jonny’s drop goal.

Which other sports did you play growing up?

Played all sports. I was a goalkeeper in football, fast bowler at cricket, I loved all sports. I do a bit wakeboarding now and again.

Who is the best dressed in the squad?

Mark Cueto

Who is your best friend in the squad and why?

Probably the lads I’ve played with for a long time – Steve Thompson, Joe Worsley, Jonny Wilkinson – I’ve spent a lot of years getting to know them and playing with them. But all of them really, they’re all good lads.

Favourite roast?

Chicken

Tell us a joke?

I’m not very good at jokes, to be honest!

Have you ever played an instrument?

I tried to learen the guitar but very poorly unfortunately. I just don’t have the patience I don’t think for music, whereas my wife’s family are all musicians.
