poorly pressure stage
We were awful, we started poorly and never got in the game. At no stage did we put any pressure on the French.
aspects ball either kicked knocked performed poorly
We were awful. We performed poorly in all aspects of the game. It was all about silencing the crowd. But we either kicked poorly or knocked the ball on.
although bad obviously pitch
The pitch is surprisingly heavy, although it is not as bad as Chelsea's. It has obviously been used a lot by Edinburgh.
campus concerned people time trying
What we're most concerned with is that we don't want to have hundreds and hundreds of people trying to get in and out of this campus at the same time as some of these other businesses.
far gave good
We gave them far too many opportunities to show how good they are.
arriving best contact far game ground matt mobility overall pain prop rather work
We need more pain at the contact area. There were times when we were going to ground too easily, arriving in ones rather than twos or threes. Matt is our best prop as far as his overall game is concerned. He's there for his mobility and work around the field.
belief discuss expecting francis meeting review total
We're doing a review and I'll be meeting with Francis Baron to discuss everything, but I've got total belief in myself and I'm not expecting to go anywhere.
bit creativity extra looking
We are looking for him to give us that extra bit of creativity.
autumn caught happened middle players spot
Unfortunately the players are caught in the middle at the moment. I thought the preparation we did in the autumn was spot on but that has not happened this time.
high quality strength
You look at the strength of your bench, and you see what high quality it is.
band knew today
We knew over here it was about silencing the crowd, but today the band played.
charge cope doubt referee upset
We are very disappointed, and this will hurt, there is no doubt about that. We are upset now, but the referee is in charge and he has called it his way, and we have got to be able to cope with that.
