beaten difficult frank game good massively points sum watch win
Frank is a massively intelligent man. It's difficult to sum up but he can watch a game in which we are beaten by 60 points and tell us to one or two things differently and make us win a game. He is so good at pinpointing what the most important things are.
compared himself inherited since squad taken until
I have been here since he started and if you look at the squad now compared to the one he inherited it's markedly different and I think he would say himself that it has taken until now for him to get the squad he wanted.

assertive beaten bit case credit delighted early fought huge motivated ourselves positive strange time win
We are delighted to win because it's the first time we've beaten the Ospreys, but it was a strange day. We were really motivated and we are usually positive and assertive but it wasn't the case early on and we got ourselves into a bit of trouble. But I think huge credit comes out of the way we fought back.
