I'll be going to the England game full of confidence and full of running. It wasn't ideal for me on Saturday and it was difficult for me to run because my leg was so heavily strapped - but I'm looking forward to next weekend's game against Pau and then, if selected, the England game.

aim carrying england five gone happened holding knee means minutes next playing run stop swelling tidy tight whatever
I didn't know how it was going to go. Carrying on playing means the swelling is going up and down. It could have gone in the first five minutes or the warm-up. Whatever happened I had to play before the England game. My next aim is to get the strapping off, because it's holding my knee in place and is so tight I can't run tidy with it. It will take more than this to stop me playing.
