Paul Ackford talks to Danny Care about England, Bloodgate and PlayStation in The Sunday Telegraph.
"We're chatting, Danny Care and I, and it's going OK, but not great. We've discussed Bloodgate ("It's never a nice thing when people call you a cheat. For a while, when people I had never met knew that I was part of Harlequins, they'd say, 'Ah, the blood people'. I didn't get it as much as the others because I still look like a dirty little student and people don't know that I play rugby. Our usual response was to say, 'Don't believe what you read in the papers.' But it was a tough time."); discussed what he learned from his sin-binning against Ireland in last season's Six Nations which caused Martin Johnson to smash his fist into his thigh in frustration ("That was a rush of blood. There was just too much excitement coming off the bench. I did cringe when I saw it afterwards. Johnno kind of understood that I was trying to ruck the guy out but that my technique wasn't the best."); and discussed why England never really got out of first gear in the autumn.
"Care, 22, the Harlequins and England scrum-half, bubbly and slightly irreverent, is good company, but not that engaged by the conversation."
