game
We've got a big game on our hands.
believed game knew players points
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.
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.
great white
Obviously, it is great to have Julian White back involved.
decision felt injuries match next okay played quite runs sale test turned
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.
form tough
Saracens are in form and it's going to be a really tough battle.
andy blame certainly coming poorly
Andy was poorly coming into game. He will be disappointed but we certainly don't blame him.
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.
exciting perspective
This is pretty exciting from my perspective, and I know many trappers who also are excited.
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.
change late
A late change like this is not ideal,
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.
defensive goal good standard
If you've got a defensive line-out and a goal kicker to the standard they have, you've got the makings of a very good side.
home kids teachers theirs took
I know all the teachers were grateful. A lot of kids took theirs home because many often don't have dictionaries at home.
