“Over the last number of months we've approached it one game at a time aiming to improve on a daily basis and delivering on the pitch. There's a tremendous buzz in the camp coming off the back of three bonus point wins. Those performances have been forged on the back of a good balance between quality training and enjoyment."
“We're under no illusions to the challenge and level of performance required against Cardiff on Saturday. It's important we focus on our processes, do what we do well and the scoreboard will look after itself."
