00:00As good as we can expect really in this type of year. We've got good weather, pitching's great, there was no injuries at training, so yeah, a bonus in the players' training as well.
00:12How much are you guys looking forward to this game? This fixture is probably the best, isn't it? In recent years, how much are you ready to go and do that again?
00:21Yeah, that's the plan. I think the fixture does stand alone because of its history, but it's also Round 3 of the Six Nations and we are on the back of a loss, so that's probably focused our minds more this week and how we improve from our game against Ireland.
00:39Are there still enough Finn available to stand?
00:43Yeah, you never know with concussions how long it's going to take until players are fully recovered, but Finn was symptom-free from the day after the Ireland game. He had to go on a 12-day recovery protocol like Darcey, but he's been fine ever since and trained with us fully from Wednesday, but trained with us for the last few days.
