I am hyperactive...in an extremely hyperactive sort of way |
I don't think we were taught a lesson in New Zealand, it was more a case of our experience confirming what a lot of people knew already, |
I feel like it is our time again. |
I was only operated on a week ago and I have made spectacular progress since then, |
I'm positive I touched the ball down over the line. |
In both games we gifted them soft scores in the first 20 minutes. You can't afford to do that against quality teams because you always have to play catch-up. |
It was a massively intense game. I could've gone on for another 80 minutes, I had so much adrenaline left. |
New Zealand are the best team in the world - the execution and accuracy of their skills were a lesson in modern rugby. |
One of the Irish players scooped it back after the whistle and to our surprise the referee then gave a turnover. |
People say that losing Lawrence was a decisive factor. He's obviously a big difference to any team, though I don't think his injury can explain why we under-performed so badly. What's certain is that we had a long break in that game while Lawrence was taken off the field. After that we never really performed throughout the tour. |
The biggest disappointment of last year was to get knocked out in the group stages, |
The op went well and there have been no complications, |
The time for reminiscing is after rugby. Then you can sit down and get fat. |
We have got to look at the way we play and implement those changes now. If we don't do that, we won't give ourselves a chance of winning, simple as that. |
We just ended up chasing shadows, |
