Name: Patrick Sanderson
Age: 28
Club: Worcester
Position: Backrow
Q: How do you stay fit and healthy? A: Running round Rugby pitches twice a day tends to look after the fit part, as for being healthy playing rugby usually means I'm not, particularly on a Sunday morning after a tough game.
Q: As a young player, what should you concentrate on most tackling or passing? A: It's probably just as important to practice both but passing is more fun so if you concentrate on the tackling then you'll probably get the balance about right.
Q: Which position is the most important on the field? A: As a backrow I'm always going to say backrow but you'd get a different answer from the halfbacks as they think they run the game!
Q: Who is the best player you have ever played with or against? A: AS it stands at the moment I'd have to say Tana Umaga. Great player with no real weaknesses.
Q: If you could play any other positions, what would it be? A: I'd quite like to play prop for a game, just so I realise how fortunate I am to be a backrow.
Q: How do prepare for a big game? A: I'm very superstitious, particularly on game day, it would take too long to talk you through it.
Q: What is your greatest rugby achievement? A: When you're losing it's always tough but we've got a great set of lads at Worcester and usually it's the team spirit that shows through when are backs are to the wall.
