Forwards Coach, Jonathan Humphreys, commented:
"After two home wins we're back on the road facing a difficult opponent who are always a tough nut to crack, particularly at home. There's a lot of good things that we can take from the last two matches but equally, there are plenty of areas where we didn't hit the standards we expect and so we've been focusing on getting that right in training this week.
"There's a good feeling among the group at the moment but it's important not to get carried away. Yes, it's two from two, but that's all it is and there's a lot of rugby to be played yet for this group of players. If we keep working hard, concentrate on the basics, and everybody knows and understands their roles, then there's no reason that we can't continue to pick up wins, but that won't happen if people don't put in the work in training during the week."
