A lot of what we've done has been built on playing at Twickenham. |
Each player should be treated as an individual. I said right from the start that I trusted Pat. I've spoken to Robinson and it won't become an issue between us. |
Everyone is desperate to play for England, but what we've got with Lawrence is someone who is not only a great player, but he has also achieved a huge amount in the game. |
How do we replace someone like Martin? Well, Martin was unique, as was Neil, so it's a question of moving on rather than attempting to recapture the qualities they possessed, |
In terms of our progress, it is massively disappointing. Playing for England and losing hurts like hell. |
In which case I'm only a week outside the 11-week rest period. As far as I'm concerned, I'm up for selection next week. I know my own body and, most importantly, I know when to listen to it. |
It is going to be a very tough game. |
It's a step ahead from the autumn internationals. We always felt we were moving forward. |
Jonah is a massive name. He will provide a huge amount of interest in the game and Cardiff rugby, |
No man is bigger than the side. We're all there for the greater good. Lawrence isn't going to come in and upset anything. He wants to be part of a successful squad, just like the rest of us. |
The illness was there but we are not hiding behind it. |
The thing for Andy Robinson is he has a huge amount of strength and depth to choose form now and that is what we need for a successful England side, |
They are a quality coaching side. What he is doing with his players is moving forward and changing them. I think the same coaches are doing to put a different spin on it, |
They are willing to open up from inside their own 22 - and from any turnover ball they are electric. There are challenges all over, and if you take your eye off one of them and focus on another they can take you apart in so many different areas. We cannot relax. |
We are developing really good team spirit and it is hard to see one of your mates up-ended on his back, |
