It has been a big lift and good for the other senior players in the squad. We have noticed there is a little bit more authority, a little more chat during training. It rubs off on the others.

They have had a lot to learn this week but that's the thing about quality, experienced players. It doesn't take them that long. They fit in pretty quickly, they run good lines and keep pretty good shape.

It's a starting point. There were some pretty good glimpses in terms of character, and a pretty good second-half performance,

We've eight players involved in the panel, and that would be a big lump out of our squad,

If anyone is capable of doing it it is our squad of players.

I intend to use all the players in my squad.
