autumn based behind charlie comment crowd england gave honest issues last months side six support team year
It was a retrospective comment based on issues which arose last year and Charlie gave an honest opinion. I think the Twickenham crowd have been outstanding in the last six months and really got behind the side in the autumn internationals. I know the England support will be right behind Charlie Hodgson and the whole team this weekend.
charged coming confidence full grown highly last match played side time wales whatever
We will have a highly charged (Wales) side that will be full of confidence coming to Twickenham. Because of the way they have played over the last year, they've grown some belief. What is important to us is that Twickenham is a fortress, and it is now time to re-establish that. It is important for us to match whatever Wales have got.
against best competing england opportunity perform players possible side system
For the preparation for the England side competing against the best it's important we give the players every opportunity to perform at their best. With the system we've got that isn't possible and that's a disappointment for me.

asking caught changed deliver granted greatest happening intensity matter opportunity players training view
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.

No, it would not. I'm not trying to undermine Martin in any way, shape or form. He's the captain and a very strong one. We needed impetus in Scotland and the bench has made an impact in other games.

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

It's very frustrating. The lads showed a lot of ambition in the first half, they went out to sustain it in the second but couldn't build on it.

It's very frustrating...I can't understand how a touch judge can award a try as it was.

I want players that are on top of their game and I hope that this camp will help the guys go into Europe in a positive frame of mind, ... That sort of confidence is important. When we meet up again I want that same feeling to be there.

It's been hard to try and force my way into the team, so it was nice to get a start,
alex attacking camp express fit good hide key likes looking mark straight themselves
It's been good to see the likes of Mark and Alex fit straight in, looking to express themselves and not hide in their shells. The camp has been key to establishing our attacking platform. Everyone has interacted really well. There's been a lot of honesty. The proof, of course, will only come when we play.
