Here’s what he had to say:
- The win over Leicester Tigers was one of the closest to an all-round performance we have put in this season.
- We defended well and managed territory, causing chaos in attack and taking our opportunities.
- We must improve our discipline after a high penalty count at the weekend.
- We talk about it on a regular basis – how important these performances are for our fans.
- Every bonus point is critical come the end of the season. There is a long way to go.
- We can’t afford to get complacent ahead of this Friday’s game. Sale have a big pack and plenty of talent among their backs.
- Our focus must be on ourselves.
- The fans play a huge part and we need them to try and help us over the line on Friday.
- Talks are ongoing with players about new contracts.
- Consistency is key and hopefully we can keep the core group together.
- Matt Cox is just a couple of weeks from a return following his bicep injury.
- Biyi Alo is out for a week with a toe injury.
- GJ van Velze has a rib issue that will be managed conservatively until Thursday and then reviewed.
