I am sure the pride of the Clermont players will be strong at home.
deal expect fatigue field game per players sure turn
But this is a big game and I expect big-game players to turn up. I'm sure he'll fatigue during the game at some stage, and we'll have to deal with that, but when he's on the field I know he'll give 150 per cent.
confidence
But confidence is something you need and we'll take some of that out of this game.
bad couple harry hopefully likely small
Harry will have a small operation. I think he is likely to be out for a couple of weeks, and hopefully nothing too bad will show up.

Harry is playing well for his country and his club. But Austin has been in great form this season and I wanted to reward him and give him the opportunity to own the competition.
hard harry quickly start testament worked
Harry is 100-per-cent fit, and he has done really well to get back as quickly as he has. At the start of the week, he wasn't really in my plans, but he has worked exceptionally hard and I think it is a testament to his work ethic.

Harry is 100 per cent fit and has done well to get back so quickly.

He has taken that opportunity, he has played really well and I am sure he wants that England spot and it was timely for him. And (in terms of starting for England in the Six Nations) if you are good enough, you are old enough.

He has taken his chances well this season, but you have to phase the other guys back in.

I know all the teachers were grateful. A lot of kids took theirs home because many often don't have dictionaries at home.
peak
I haven't had a two-month pre-season, which would have put me in peak condition,
anyone experience guys level
I don't think there's anyone going out there who hasn't started a first-team game. They have all had enough experience so the guys can say 'I should not be intimidated by this level and now I have to make an impression'.
carried progress rugby subject test tom work
I don't want to get carried away on this subject because Tom is a work in progress, but if the circumstances were right he could play Test rugby today.
