last year during the World Cup and they have<br />

continued to train with us. A lot of younger<br />

players are getting opportunities and they are<br />

certainly using their opportunities right across<br />

the park from 1 to 15. There have been some<br />

very good team performances – a long way<br />

from perfect – but we will certainly take that<br />

start to the season.”<br />

On areas to improve on…<br />

as possible. Changing the team week on week<br />

we are giving guys opportunities across the<br />

start of the season and some guys will get<br />

opportunities over the next few weeks. It is not<br />

like we will select the same team week in week<br />

out until we get closer to Europe. You take it<br />

game by game in this tournament you make<br />

sure you’re putting in good performances<br />

week in week out to make sure you are in the<br />

knockout games come June.”<br />

“Every week we are looking for improvement.<br />

We are looking to improve our attack across<br />

the board. Some of our defence has been<br />

really good but we leaked one or two tries<br />

from set pieces against Cardiff a few games<br />

ago. The breakdown right across the world<br />

of rugby is a huge battle so every week it is<br />

about adapting to the referee and adapting to<br />

the opposition. Variety in our kicking game<br />

and to make sure we get as much continuity<br />

"We are looking forward<br />

now to the next block<br />

of games, but more<br />

importantly, the one right<br />

in front of us."<br />
