He will be missed by Bath during this crucial time of the season and by ourselves on the tour to Australia.

He's had nine weeks to focus on this game. He was competing for a ball in the air, which just goes to show his ultra-competitive nature. I have no doubts about his self-control. We've been in regular contact.

However, I have now been offered an opportunity which I have accepted and I'm looking forward to England's first training session on September 20.

I always said I would consider bringing Matt back if I felt he was playing well for his club,
|
I am disappointed for Pat, Worcester and England because he will be sorely missed. He was outstanding for us in the autumn, and he played very well in the first half for Worcester against Bristol on Friday night before coming off.

I am excited about the players we have available to us, and as coaches we are looking forward to working with them.
|
I am pleased with the way we played. The back three, with the way they worked off the ball, were tremendous.

I congratulate Iain in returning to the starting line up this week. He is playing well for Tykes and put in an impressive performance for England A.
|
I gave them the opportunity to go or to stay. It was a business decision first.

I have a lot of sympathy for the directors of rugby, who understandably want to field their strongest possible sides, but the agreement is in place and it is important that all parties support it,
|
I have got total belief in this team. Sunday's game will tell us where we are. We want to win the championship, it was one of our aims for the season, and I have full confidence in the way the team is playing the game.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Clive over the last four years with England and would personally like to congratulate him on the success he has achieved in leading England to the World Cup and as the number one team in the world,
|
I haven't changed my view that if we're asking players to deliver performances of the greatest intensity they should be granted every opportunity to give of their best. It's not happening the way I wanted and the players are caught in the middle. We've had to change our training but it's a matter of getting on with it.
|
I look forward to seeing how he fits in with the England squad.
|
I made it very clear to the RFU and Clive that my wish was for him stay on as head coach,
