00:12 The senior coaches have been in today and yes it's nice for everyone, the older boys and newer boys to experience what it's like in that environment.
00:19 It's really connected now, the 20s and the senior squad, it may be a different voice but it's all the same kind of messages that all the coaches are putting across,
00:25 which is the effort and the working hard, obviously which every team does.
00:28 It's been great to have Mike in, he's really helped us with our defence. It's been pretty fast and high tense but the boys have been into it and it's going really well.
00:36 It's good to have someone and a different look on the defence, especially from Mike. We've taken real good learning from that and hopefully moving forward into the World Cup.
00:44 We have some alignment with the senior team and I know that Rob early, obviously coming back on board, has a lot of energy around the 20s and he's doing a great job in helping Richard and Ned's in there.
00:56 I think it's important that there's an alignment with the senior team and the 20s team. Like I've just said to the boys, I'd like to think that I'll be coaching some of you in the senior team in the next few years.
01:05 Overall, we're looking real sharp. As I say, the boys are training hard and can't wait to get out there and be selected.
01:10 It's important we get under our mate Spain because they won that tournament. Obviously, Scotland being in that tournament, they're quite a tough team to play against in the Six Nations.
01:16 If they're beating a team like Scotland to come up to the World Cup, then they're no pushovers themselves and can't go into that game different to any other game we go into.
01:23 I think the pathway is huge in any sport and no more so than in rugby. I think particularly in rugby in the UK and England and Wales, I think the pathway is everything.
01:33 We've got to really invest in that and coaches like myself who have coached the senior team, but we've got to invest in what the 20s are doing and support their coaches as well.
