Cueto: Pre-match meal is beans on toast
Lewis Moody — Always goes to the cinema on the night before a game and insists on wearing his match shirt underneath his warm-up kit. Has two cans of Red Bull before every game.
Mike Catt — Always has to touch his ear when the camera pans across for the national anthems. This is how he says hello to his parents.
Jason Robinson — Has a strict time-scale for putting on his strapping. Contrary to many other players, he also likes to head out of the tunnel first.
Mark Cueto — Eats the same meal of beans on toast, puts his left boot on first and ensures he is last off the coach and last out of the changing rooms.
Matt Stevens — Wears white laces in his boots and has done so since he started playing rugby.
Martin Corry — Has broccoli for breakfast on match day and jumps into an ice bath before going out for the warm-up.
