I haven't changed my view that if we're asking players to deliver performances of the greatest intensity they should be granted every opportunity to give of their best. It's not happening the way I wanted and the players are caught in the middle. We've had to change our training but it's a matter of getting on with it.

It was a great try from Mark Cueto and then a completely different try when Lewis Moody was driven over.
