“He did some really good things, his kicking game was great.

“I’ve been genuinely excited for this game and it lived up to it.

“At half-time, we had to improve one or two things.

“I knew there were details that we needed to get better at and that detail showed in the second half which I’m really happy about – I’m delighted.

“Overall, it’s going to be a really impressive review tomorrow and I’m so happy for the players.”
