fight played until win
We have a real win with Brett. We want him to fight for a place until the end of the season. He has played well this season.
against capable dragons respect simplicity win
We respect them, they know what they're doing and if we play like we did against the Dragons we'll lose. If we play anything like we know we're capable of we'll win - that's the simplicity of it sometimes.
mistakes performance poor saved skill today whether
You make mistakes in sport and that was a mistake. There were opportunities all over the place and we didn't take them. We saved a poor performance for today and we have to live with that. I want to see whether the mistakes were skill mistakes, decision-making mistakes or poor coaching.
great last likely three win
We know if we win our last three games, then it's pretty likely we will be second. It is great to have things under your control.

As a finisher he is pretty special and I still think there's a lot more to come. His feet are very good and he breaks tackles to score tries. Can he play in Tests and do what he did against Wasps? I think he will. He has some attributes the England selectors have to consider.
exciting perspective
This is pretty exciting from my perspective, and I know many trappers who also are excited.
coral dead meets red safe saying version
They're the safe version of the coral snake. The saying is when red meets yellow, you're a dead fellow. When red meets black, you're OK, Jack.
bit bristol changes result taught
I think it was important to make changes going into the Bristol match, but in a way that result has taught us a bit of a lesson.
full gradual minutes played
It has been a gradual build-up for Julian, and all part of integrating him in. He played 20 minutes, then 40 minutes and now a full game,
games lose
He's a significant part of why we do not lose a lot of games like that.
