We need more pain at the contact area. There were times when we were going to ground too easily, arriving in ones rather than twos or threes. Matt is our best prop as far as his overall game is concerned. He's there for his mobility and work around the field. |
We should be able to win anywhere in the world and against any opposition. France, where we haven't won in six years, is an important place for us to make our mark - to show how much we have improved over the last couple of years. |
We were awful, we started poorly and never got in the game. At no stage did we put any pressure on the French. |

We will have a highly charged (Wales) side that will be full of confidence coming to Twickenham. Because of the way they have played over the last year, they've grown some belief. What is important to us is that Twickenham is a fortress, and it is now time to re-establish that. It is important for us to match whatever Wales have got. |
We will, in conjunction with Gloucester, monitor Phil's progress over the next few weeks, but he will not be considered for the Wales game. I am disappointed for Phil, because he is an outstanding member of the squad and we hope to see him back soon. |
We're doing a review and I'll be meeting with Francis Baron to discuss everything, but I've got total belief in myself and I'm not expecting to go anywhere. |
What we're most concerned with is that we don't want to have hundreds and hundreds of people trying to get in and out of this campus at the same time as some of these other businesses. |
When you see the political in-fighting, it's disappointing, |
With a couple of exceptions, I can picture the team running out against Australia, |
You look at the strength of your bench, and you see what high quality it is. |
