“We celebrated the Good Friday win but it was nothing too crazy because we’ve got this big game.

“They are outstanding this year, so we need to bring a lot of the effort from the Saints win.

“They’ve got a good feeling because they’re playing some good rugby.

“It’s always special driving in and seeing all of the fans in the pubs- it’s great.

“These are the ones you want to be involved in.

“Watching this fixture as a kid was special, but playing in it is another level.

“This is the first one we’ve won since 2017 so it’s been a long time coming but I think we earned it.

“It wasn’t perfect at times, but when they made line-breaks we had effort and endeavour to get players in the picture to stop their tries.

“We won a few of the momentum swings, and they’re massive in games like that.

“If we bring that every week then it will put us in good stead to win most games.”
