And I think for a coach, like what gives a coach anxiety?

It's where does my bottom line sit?

And we saw England's bottom line at the weekend.

That was very ugly.

We saw Wales' bottom line against England and France.

They were considerably better at the weekend.

I think for the next two games against Wales and Scotland, we need to see that bottom line staying really high.

My sense, it is the start of something.

It's amazing in sport how things can change so much in one week, but I feel like they have.

And...

what I will say the two games coming up we've got Wales are considerably better than what people think it was a good performance from them at the weekend they are improving they'll leave it all out there but it's a nice opportunity for us to really impose our game on them take them on physically be patient play high percentage and we'll get lots of opportunities against them Wales are going to be hanging in there for large parts of that game and then you've got Scotland coming in round five and
