Hello and welcome to Brian Moore's full contact in association with the Telegraph.

I'm Brian Moore and alongside me in the studio is the former Gloucester and England winger James Simpson-Daniel.

This week we're joined by James Haskell, Nigel Owens, Stephen Ferris, Sarah Hunter and Gary Schofield.

James, question from Henry Windsor, What's your favourite country to play in?

Good question. It was a long time ago. It was a lifetime ago. I've had the pleasure of travelling around the world playing in lots of countries.

Everyone hates the English, wherever we go, everyone absolutely hates us. Even when we're not any good.

I was just going to say, yeah,

you can be even close to home.

Sometimes it seemed to not like us. But the one place I did go,

and I was pleasantly surprised,

by the way we received,

was Hong Kong.

It helped that we won the year that it happened,

and a very special memory for me.

But yeah, Hong Kong was fantastic played there only once actually and and yeah it was

a special trip funny enough I think um I think Australia probably for the sort of experience

you have in the country the you know the breadth of experience you can dive and you can ski and

you can do all these sorts of things.

But the actual tour that I enjoyed the most was the England Students Tour.

I went on in 82, which was to Japan and Hong Kong.

And that was just a fantastic tour for actually the players and the sort of camaraderie on there.
