And it was one thing that I had to do when I got back into the changing room in front of everyone yesterday was acknowledge that.
Adding up to that, look everyone in the eye and appreciate that.
It did have an effect on a team and people that I care for and want to do extremely well.
And that's one of the hard things that I had to cope with over the last two weeks was seeing how something that I was involved in affected a team that I care deeply about.
