"Leigh Halfpenny obviously looks small compared to the other guys he's surrounded by in the backs at the moment but he is still about 5ft 9in. And I can assure you he is built like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's very strong, very powerful and he doesn't get intimidated by the bigger guys and that's being reflected in the way he's playing at the moment. He is taking some big hits but he's getting back up.
"He's one of the top players in the Wales side at the moment and playing with a lot of confidence. He's certainly far bigger than me and I don't think intimidation is an issue at all with him. As for me, I was never intimidated by players. I certainly relished the challenge of playing against bigger guys.
"In fact, I was more comfortable playing against bigger guys because I found it easier to manipulate them. They were far easier to beat, and if your tackle technique was right they were easier to bring down as well."
