Olivier Magne Quotations

We are going to try to combine our good performances from our first half against Ireland and our second half against Italy. Then we should be fine. A win would erase some of the disappointment of our previous performances.

English rugby is based on physical strength, discipline, seriousness and determination. They struggle to get out of their pre-established game plan. They can get easily lost when they are unsettled ... they probably lack creativity.

I'm sure it will a very tense game and my Irish friends will perhaps not be my friends for 80 minutes.

The English game is based on physical strength, discipline, seriousness and determination, but they probably lack creativity. Commitment has to be present even in training, which is why they are always ready for the fights on the pitch. However, they struggle to get out of their pre-established plan and can easily get lost when they are unsettled.
