England rugby player Billy Vunipola says England's players had to learn how to talk about their feelings during "honesty sessions" before the World Cup.
The psychologist‑led sessions were aimed at erasing the mental scars of the 2015 World Cup when hosts England bowed out at the group stage.
Coach Eddie Jones, appointed after that 2015 campaign, set up the therapy.
Vunipola says men do not know how to talk about their feelings and it took them a while but they got there in the end.
England endured a miserable World Cup on home soil four years ago ‑ exiting after successive defeats to Wales and Australia, the first time a host nation had been eliminated at the opening stage.
