00:00Does that performance for you kind of underline why you feel you are the right man to lead this
00:04team going forward? I believe he's the right man to lead the team going forward regardless.
00:10We finished the tournament, yes I'm really proud of the way the players played today,
00:15really disappointed for the players, but ultimately we're gutted that we went into
00:19the tournament with such high expectations and aspirations and we've not been able to meet those
00:24targets. I think that we're reflecting that it's painful, we're all hurting, I know the supporters
00:31are hurting as well, we wanted to make sure that they had wins to celebrate and we weren't able to
00:38give that to them and we're all hurting, everyone involved in the team cares so deeply, so the media
00:46reflection is that huge disappointment, a determination to make sure that this hurt
00:54makes the team stronger in the future. I think some of the decisions are debatable,
00:58I think you know the decision against Henry Arundel at the start of the Scotland game was
01:04should say confusing at best, I thought that one against Ellis to give a penalty try,
01:11I don't follow it, I'll ask for it to be explained to me
01:19and in those moments the scrum knock-on and the players are playing it that we've been told on
01:25the pitch there was a penalty advantage and I know probably some people at home are probably
01:28looking at why we played the way we did and it should be explained I think that the players on
01:33the pitch were told it was a penalty advantage so played in a certain manner that knowing you had a
01:39penalty to go back to unfortunately what happened in the background is the TMO would change it to a
01:42knock-on advantage, the players are unaware of it and France go down the other end and score a try,
01:49I think that World Rugby needs to look at that kind of situation, you can't have the players playing
01:54with certain knowledge that and then it taken away from them.
