00:00I think we're at the point where we can go and be competitive and I think that's where it is
00:05and again if we are competitive and we bring large parts of what we did is against Scotland then I
00:09think we'd be in the game to get the result that we actually we all want but I think we
00:15can't get focusing just because we've had one good performance or a performance that was probably stacked a lot of
00:22moments together I think if we start thinking then automatically you're going to get a win based on that then
00:27I don't think that's where we are in our journey.
00:29We need to go and back it up and again it's going to be a different challenge and I think
00:33the last time we were away from home in England look at the start we had and again the emotional
00:39control going to Ireland is a different sort of stress point for us but it's exciting and I think this
00:44is a really good test for us on that development piece.
00:48They've got threats everywhere I mean obviously well drilled team but yeah for us it's building from a performance we
00:55did against Scotland and trying to implement that into Ireland and it's going to be a big ask but no
01:03we're looking forward to it.
01:04I think that's in any sport at the minute if you lose or you get one bad result there's definitely
01:08a crisis but look they've got outstanding coaches outstanding players they've got lots of experience lots of experience of playing
01:16in big test matches but also big European cup finals British Lions they've got stacked with British Lions so I
01:23think for teams like Ireland you have a little bump in the road they always come back.
01:27I enjoy playing with Joe we have a good relationship off the pitch as well but yeah for more games
01:34you play with any centre partnership you get a feel of what you do and get more of a relationship
01:41and you hopefully play better and the more games you play.
01:45There was a lot of tough lessons from England and it's going to be a great opportunity to see if
01:49we have learned from that and I think even in the Scotland game though the crowd were incredible and it
01:55was one of the best experiences that the team and I've had like in any sort of sport so the
02:01crowd remains but I think even in the first part of that game you look at there's a good D
02:06set we're unlucky to give a penalty away from where we felt there was probably a knock on it should
02:10we know but while they kick to the corner we lose Joe to a yellow card and then we still
02:15have a knock on it.
02:15We still respond we go up and the crowd play a massive partner but I think the adaptation piece was
02:19we've had a yellow there was a breathing space and we went up the other end and scored we took
02:25the game to Scotland which was which was massive so I think all these little bits of growth we need
02:30to make sure we're looking harder than why and how we go about it but like you said it's going
02:37to be I'm excited to see how we go and I think the boys are starting to grow in confidence
02:42and belief in what they're doing and they're always
02:45speaking about how we can win even more moments in the game and back that up and probably it's the
02:50most we backed it up was against Scotland so it's something that's it's going to be an amazing opportunity and
02:56challenge for us to go to Dublin to see if we can build on this performance.
