I think the area of concern is still probably our scrum.

And it was always going to be a challenging competition with the injuries that we got, in particular in the loose head side.

But Tom O'Toole has really stepped up in the opportunities that he's had, both with his scrummaging and also his open play.

I always thought when I was playing with Tom, he had the mobility to be a really effective loose head prop.

But it was also great that he was doing that as a tight head.

Look, I'm not a scrum expert, but he does look more comfortable at loose head.

So that's positive.

And I think Andy Farrell, full credit to him, he's done a really good job at keeping freshness in the squad.

And that's important, having five games in six weeks as opposed to five games in seven weeks.

The likes of Dan Sheen coming back in.

I think it's a really important game for him because he hasn't quite reached the heights that we've seen in previous seasons.

Well, first off, I really like it from him.

And I really like some of the other snippets that came out.

And quite often you're seeing now that it's the post-game interviews where players aren't media briefed and they're still kind of elated from the win.

Two Pilatos spoke after the game and he said that Gregor said to the team that...

France aren't going to be within touching distance if we impose our game on them.

It's not even going to be close.

I'm not exactly quoting him but you're getting a sense of the confidence from within the camp.

Look I'd say if Darcy Graham had his opportunity again would he change the wording a little bit?

Yeah he probably would but is he right in what he's saying?
