But the flanker didn't aid the cause as he picked up a yellow card against Glasgow Warriors in his third game, while also sitting in the bin against Connacht and Harlequins in the Heineken Cup.

"We are a squad born from controversy. It's not really to do with the players but we are paying the price. But we want to focus on the game."
