again against extremely led martin opportunity sure team teams three tough
Martin led the team extremely well and I am sure he will take this opportunity to do so again against three very tough teams in November,
both game potential win
We are both going into the game with the potential to win the championship.
andrew bench hard last performed worked
Julian has performed well off the bench in the last two games. He has performed well for Leicester over the last month. He has improved. He has worked hard on his mobility. It is the same with Andrew Sheridan, they are working together.
arriving best contact far game ground matt mobility overall pain prop rather work
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.
available coaches excited forward looking players
I am excited about the players we have available to us, and as coaches we are looking forward to working with them.
against bristol coming england friday half night played
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.
cleaned couple high shots
But a couple of high shots were dangerous, and that does need to be cleaned out of the game.
ball expose midfield players pleased quick space time trying understanding work
I was pleased with the players in the autumn. What's important is the whole team's development. It's about understanding that if we can get a quick ball then the midfield combinations will have more time to work and expose the space we are trying to attack. I was pretty pleased with the way midfield went.
chasing dominate finish game high lead percentage scoreboard ticking
If we get our tactical game right, are able to dominate possession, make a high percentage of tackles, keep chasing play, finish our opportunities and, most importantly, keep the scoreboard ticking over and get a lead built, we'll be fine.
aims belief confidence full game playing team total win
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.
england last leader mike missed nations players six
Mike Tindall was missed by England in the last Six Nations and he is one of those players that is influential in the way we play and is a leader in the team.
ability bench bring looked team
One of things I looked at was our ability to use the bench. It's important we are able to bring our bench on and that is what we were able to do today. This is a whole team effort.
although bad obviously pitch
The pitch is surprisingly heavy, although it is not as bad as Chelsea's. It has obviously been used a lot by Edinburgh.
club connected england full wish
Like everyone connected with his club and England, I would like to wish him a full and speedy recovery.'
