We made a decision that he was not quite right for the Sale game, and I felt if we played him it could have turned into one of those injuries that runs and runs. He will be okay to play in the Test match next Saturday.

It's lucky we've got depth. Guys like Alex have played a huge role in the early part of the season.

It was frustrating day as a whole because we played poorly.
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.

Jim's obviously not very happy, but he understands what we're trying to do,

He's a bright guy and he's calm in these sort of situations.
