They have had a lot to learn this week but that's the thing about quality, experienced players. It doesn't take them that long. They fit in pretty quickly, they run good lines and keep pretty good shape.
I also think the English are maligned ... they are made to feel guilty about being patriotic and supporting their teams. But I found them really good to deal with, fair and honest and straight up.
It's a starting point. There were some pretty good glimpses in terms of character, and a pretty good second-half performance,
It has been a big lift and good for the other senior players in the squad. We have noticed there is a little bit more authority, a little more chat during training. It rubs off on the others.
I get on well with people and I have really good relationships with the other coaches around me. I don't know everything about the games and I'm still learning all the time, so it's important to have an open mind.
