Rugby legend David Campese says that when he's not flying around the world, he loves getting down to do some home cooking.

'The last meal I cooked was for 10 to 15 guests in my home and I just loved it.' His favourite dish is pasta, 'don't forget I'm of Italian origin'.

And eating healthily is all part and parcel of the qualities which earned him the reputation of being the world's finest rugby winger.

His diet includes stacks of vegetables, carbohydrates and protein like chicken and fish.

'Learning how to cook has come in handy too, especially if you are a bachelor like me.' He admits to being a loner and enjoys his own company. His leisure activities - golf, driving, reading and listening to music - do not require the presence of a significant other.

'I always believed that if you want to achieve something, you've got to sacrifice. Being 37 and still single has its good and bad sides.' A hectic schedule - 'I was back home for only six days the whole of last month' - means it can be difficult to develop a relationship.
