00:00It's a magical tournament. It's a pinnacle of European rugby in terms of the rock, in terms of the breakdown, in terms of the collisions, the set-piece, the live warfare.
00:23We've won the last couple of years obviously, but there's so much quality in this competition, which is what makes it such a good one.
00:29Other teams are going to continue to improve and develop rapidly, and if we don't do the same, they'll take over quite quickly.
00:35It's a force, so it's important because it allows us to carry the ball and move forward with the ball. It's a finisher, it's a player who sets an example, and it's important for the team.
01:05The team's got the strengths to get into a position to win against some of the best teams in the world. We know we've got a lot of work to do on the training field, but this is a group of players I trust in, I believe in. I think that they are a group of players that are going to become a very, very good team.
01:35It was a tough year last year, but we know that us as a group and as a squad and the coaches and everyone, we've got to work harder over the next few weeks to really get together and try and put in a performance. As long as we come in every day, try to keep on improving every day, hopefully we'll get better.
