“Bath have got their backs against the wall after two successive losses. They wouldn't want to lose three matches in a row and a win at Leicester would put them right back on track. We need to be switched on. We've spoken about it at length this week; we need to make sure we get it right, if we don't get parity up front we will battle.”
“It could be a similar battle this year, but don't forget the line-out battle either, especially with Steve Borthwick in the side. Bath have a quality pack, it's one of their strengths and with Michael Foley on their coaching staff they're going to base a lot of their play around their forwards. After all it's been successful, why would they want to change it?”
“I think I'm actually quite lucky to get a start, given how well Alex has gone, ... He's started well, he comes from Argentina and has played in France, two countries that pride themselves on scrumming, and he can play anywhere in the front row.”
“Our business is booming at the moment. It's actually affecting our stock levels. It was the busiest summer in my six years here. This is the first place I've ever sold cars where no one asks about fuel consumption.”
