It's still wide open and there for the taking for the team that puts their hand up. |
Last summer was probably the biggest disappointment of my career, but now I have something bad with which to balance the good. I will no longer take anything for granted. |
Their back division has been a little bit like ours, it hasn't quite fired as people predicted. I don't think they're going to be a million miles away from clicking one of these days but I hope we're the ones who click first. |
There are certain parts of his argument you could probably agree with, |
They stuck within six points of us to the death but we were the ones who dominated the game. |
They're going to be two very different performances. There is a big difference in going to France and playing there and playing at Twickenham. Two defeats for England is unusual in the Six Nations and they will want to make sure it's not three. |
This is a stepping stone to bigger things hopefully. We'll celebrate it tonight. We needed the performance we've been talking about this week for the whole of the Six Nations and to put it in to win the Triple Crown feels good. |
Was I speared? I think so. Slam-dunked is probably the expression which sums it up best, |
We got a good old rollicking at half-time but it was a real spirited display in the second half. Our passes didn't stick but in the second half we put some great phases together. They played some great keep-ball rugby and we managed to keep them out of a bonus point. But we know we'll have to up it 15 to 20 per cent next week. |
We have got a meeting later on and we are all going to sign a big A4 welcome back card for Gavin. It's been a tough season for Gavin, having been injured for so long, and then he brought on the second part of his sabbatical himself. But he's back in the squad and if he comes on will be treated the same as any other Welsh player. |
