We have flown Matt over purely as a precaution at this stage. With a bit of treatment tonight George should be fine and right to take his place in the starting line-up.

We're at the stage where some of our more experienced players are injured, some have already been rested, so it's a great opportunity to bring a bit of youth and enthusiasm into the squad.
ball bit fast ground happens might move unless
I wouldn't think so unless the ground happens to be very fast and dry, then they might move the ball around a bit more.

I was trying my best to calm everybody down, because we're going to make mistakes. We've just got to be a little bit smarter with the ball.

I thought tonight we were the aggressor. We came out and took it right to them and made it tough for them to handle us.

Jeff's the coach. The only thing that might happen is that I could be there for the final week of the Super 14 when it's time for the debriefings.

You always go back to what's been successful when under pressure but I'd be surprised if Clive was interested in the job. Unless, of course, he's got power over everything.

I think Ireland will come out with a very different approach. I think, certainly in terms of attack, they'll play a far different game. We're prepared for anything...

Most definitely I'm excited. There's a strong base coming through. We're probably in the same situation the Wallabies were back in 1997.

The advice from the medical staff is to give Jeremy the opportunity to rest his injury and unfortunately that means missing out on the tour.
blame detroit game happy leg loss shots taking tough trying
We got happy just taking the threes. After a tough game (a 95-89 loss at Detroit on Friday), you may not have the leg strength. That was key. We were trying to penetrate and kick. The shots didn't go down. Just don't blame it on shooting. You can never blame a loss on shooting. It's what you do defensively.
