Jo Maso Against Quotations

The team had a very good second half against the Italians, and we want to continue to forge ahead to beat the English.

Olivier was not catastrophic against the English but he was responsible for three of the penalties the referee awarded against us. When he gets too wound up it's a bad time so it's time for a look at the (others).

We decided to rely on the players who gave us full satisfaction in November against South Africa and Australia when they were available.

We are of course sorry for Thomas because he made a great comeback in November but he pulled a thigh muscle on Saturday in the Heineken Cup match against Biarritz. We talked to him this morning and he told us he should be fit again in two weeks.
