I thought, 'He's done.' If he survives at all he will probably be in a vegetative state.

Last week was quite a hard introduction for him, but I thought he acquitted himself reasonably well. Obviously it will take him a little while to find his way back around around a rugby field, especially in a standard that high. This weekend will be just as tough and there will be a lot of pressure on him.

I thought we were going to win the game but we won't take the disappointments, we will take the positives.

We will just be trying to win so that we increase the gap between us and them. I thought Eastbourne bought well in the summer and I don't expect them to be languishing where they are for too long.

You never like losing, but I've always thought that you learn more from losses than wins. This will help us.

I didn't want to get into the same situation again and I thought that was possible if I decided to keep him here. The turf course was like a landing strip [for the Diana].
