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.

I know all the teachers were grateful. A lot of kids took theirs home because many often don't have dictionaries at home.
backed both couple difficult game gets giving hard life opportunity somehow taken time tom
Everyone in life gets their opportunity somehow and you have got to take it. Tom has had a difficult couple of weeks. I have been giving him a very hard time and he has taken his opportunity with both hands. He said to me before the game he was going to play well and he backed it up.

They have to be checked in this year, and for at least the next several years. The wildlife division plans to collect all the carcasses.

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.

It was a poor performance, no question about that. Some blokes still turned up and were very good, but a lot of players will have to take a long, hard look at themselves.
approach benefit change close extended means opportunity
We had to change Lewis's focus, make him approach the lay-off as an extended close season, an opportunity to really get in shape. He's done just that, which means that in the long-term we should get benefit from it. In the short-term, the benefit will be England's.

Andy was poorly coming into game. He will be disappointed but we certainly don't blame him.

We've got a big game on our hands.

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.
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.
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.
form tough
Saracens are in form and it's going to be a really tough battle.
