We've got great talent across the field, we saw that with Digby (Ioane) and Clinton (Schifcofske) and our midfield, so I can't see why we shouldn't be going out looking to score four tries

Andy Robinson is a world-class coach and they have improved enormously ... If they had Chris (Paterson], they would have had a lot more confidence. They are playing really good, hard rugby and are a very hard side to breakdown. I know them well from my time in Scotland and I have huge respect for them.
If we perform like that next week against Leinster, we are going to have egg on our faces
Both teams were really tense, we should have put the game away a lot earlier. In the 80th minute Edinburgh were still in it and could have won with a try. We still played with a lot of fear and tension If Edinburgh had scored in the last minute, we would have been devastated and been pulling our hair out. But I couldn't have faulted their effort.
We played great rugby in the first half, our defence was very good again. But then once again dumb penalties and a young team were to cost us. We should just have kicked the living tripe off that ball and put it in their end of the park and we would have won the game
We were pleased with the performance on Friday against Bath but we have a lot of work still to do and these friendlies are a great opportunity to see how the players are progressing and give the younger guys a chance as well ... The Magners League is just weeks away and we are determined to make a vast improvement on our results from last season. We didn't have a good time last season. Winning the Magners League and getting to the knock-out stages of Europe isn't beyond this squad.
