Everyone wants to have a say about a tour that finished months and months ago, |
I am not one to complain, I don't know what happened. I can still see and I am not going to worry about it. Rather like I didn't gouge anyone last week, I suspect no one gouged me this week. |
I think the whole of the English team and squad need to raise their fitness levels. I detect there is a real determination in the team but I think I'd be honest in saying we need to add a little bit of creativity and flair. |
I want to prove to the players already there (in the England team) that I deserve to be selected on merit. There's a window for me because Lewis Moody is suspended and Pat Sanderson is struggling with injury. |
I wouldn't want to rule out the possibility of a return. It is something that has to be thought about very seriously. |
I'm delighted to have re-signed for the club. The last three years in particular have gone very well for everyone at the club, and over the next two years we will continue to drive the club forward with the aim of maintaining that level of success. |
If either side are to prevail, then there are key one-to-one battles you have to win. I'll have to play well this weekend, as will everyone, because you can't be at anything other than your best if you are to beat Leicester. I have a huge amount of respect for Martin and all the Leicester team. |
If they want to cite me for that then the game really has gone soft. |
It is important that you have players on the bench who can add momentum. We did that against Wales and, while no player likes to be picked on the bench, it is your job if you are there to ensure that the coach has competition for places. |
It is not about just coming back for a few games. It would have to be with my sights set on France 2007. |
It's a Test match in all but name. We both crave one thing - winning. |
It's important we have a squad that will challenge each other. |
It's up to all of us now to make sure that England go out and play as well as we can, and I'm looking forward to competing for a place in the team. |
