again coaches easiest field good looking structure talking
We were looking for a like-for-like replacement for me and that made the field very narrow. We thought again about the structure and we are being more inventive. We are talking to a lot of guys: there are some good coaches out there and Leicester is not the easiest place to come to because it can be intimidating.
george good shot
I think George is a very good player, and it would have been interesting if he had had a shot at the Tests.
beat five good group players pride six starts strong sure teams victories
I am sure the pride of the Clermont players will be strong at home. They have got some very good players, and not a lot of teams beat Clermont in Clermont. We must go there to win, and five victories from six starts in this group would be a very strong achievement.
ball british control deal defensive four good issues lions side
We need to deal with some of our ball control issues, defensive issues and our kicking. We still had a good side out, with four British Lions out on the paddock, and we should have done better.
both deacon decision good johnson last lewis luke mention performance playing quite tough
It was a really tough decision to play Lewis because I think both Brett Deacon and Will Johnson have been playing fantastically, not to mention Luke Abraham's performance last week. But we know Lewis is a very good player, and in all fairness, we would quite like to see him play for Leicester.
against attributes breaks england feet good score special tests
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.
england good played six spot starting sure taken terms timely wants
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.
certain good learned monday players work
Things did not work out and we will be going out on Monday to make amends. I learned a lot about certain players - some did good and some did poor.
defensive goal good standard
If you've got a defensive line-out and a goal kicker to the standard they have, you've got the makings of a very good side.
andy blame certainly coming poorly
Andy was poorly coming into game. He will be disappointed but we certainly don't blame him.
form tough
Saracens are in form and it's going to be a really tough battle.
believed game knew players points
At 22-12 behind, I didn't think the game was gone. We knew that 10 points was in our reach, and the players really believed in themselves.
obviously trying
Jim's obviously not very happy, but he understands what we're trying to do,
bright calm guy sort
He's a bright guy and he's calm in these sort of situations.
