00:00 Make a statement on the Cumberland Under-18s?
00:02 Yeah, they were up against a really good Irish team and they were down a man for the majority of the game as well.
00:10 So, I think when you play the top teams in the world with a man, downs can be really tough.
00:17 But I think they were very cohesive. That game has produced so many victories for them.
00:22 They were able to deliver that in a tough environment.
00:25 I guess physical French side, but they just kept on task.
00:31 So, I think from the French perspective, they know that they didn't play their best rugby, so we'll get a reaction from that.
00:39 We'd imagine we'd get a reaction from that performance.
00:43 But they were a man down for most of that game, so they'll take encouragement that with 15 on the field,
00:51 they came back even with 14 on the field at one stage.
00:55 But we know that a quality team, still a top 3 or 14 in the world.
