You win some and you lose some. I don't think they outclassed us, it just happens to everyone.

Give their defense credit, they closed in quickly and made us react quickly.

We have to be able to play 40 minutes for two halves. We played about a half today.

It's very even and you can analyse the group in whatever way you like. You can look at us and say we've two home games to go with a game in Cyprus in between. Then you can look at France and say they are capable of winning three matches with the fantastic players they have.

I think it got us a little tentative, especially Eric. He knew if he picked up his third there that he'd probably be sitting the rest of the (first) half. We got beat by a pretty good team tonight. Our kids should be proud and hold their heads up high because I think they've got a great shot at winning a few more games. We'll be rooting them on.

Half the battle for us is we don't know when he's hungry. We've had to give him a catheter a few times.
