00:00It's a magical tournament, it's the pinnacle of European rugby.
00:05In terms of the rock, in terms of the breakdown, in terms of the collisions,
00:09the set-piece is like warfare.
00:22We've won the last couple of years obviously, but there's so much quality
00:25in this competition, which is what makes it such a good one.
00:29Other teams are going to continue to improve and develop rapidly,
00:32and if we don't do the same, they'll take over quite quickly.
00:46It's a force, so it's important because it allows us to carry the ball
00:52and to move forward with the ball, and he's a finisher,
01:00he's a player who scores attempts, and that's important for the team.
01:14The team's got the strength to get into a position to win against some of the best teams in the world.
01:20We know we've got a lot of work to do in the training field,
01:22but this is a group of players I trust in, I believe in,
01:25I think that they are a group of players that are going to become a very, very good team.
01:44We got here last year, but we know that us as a group and as a squad,
01:48and the coaches and everyone, we've got to work harder over the next few weeks
01:53to really get together and try and put in a performance,
01:56and as long as we come in every day, try and keep on improving every day,
02:00and hopefully, you know, get better.
