Whenever a player is injured you are immediately concerned ... But, straight away it came across on the radio that James Robson had said that Ugo was more serious than Kelly. We knew immediately it wasn't as bad a situation as Thom.
We just need a break. I think things have improved under Andy Robinson and I don't have any concerns about going to Dublin. Bring it on.
He has contact work tomorrow but so far he’s passed every little bit
It's not about me and Andy Robinson, it's England versus Scotland
Why are we not getting sin-binnings [for opponents]? Why are we not getting those opportunities? I thought there were clear-cut opportunities for [English] sin-binnings at the weekend and they weren’t given ... What you do question is, if that had been us, would we have been sin-binned? Those are the qu...
Andy is as passionate a rugby man as you will find and good luck to him ... What he has been through this season, the win against Australia then four losses on the trot, all of which could have been turned into wins, that’s the world we live in. It’s pretty tough. But this is not about me and Andy Robin...
I’m really looking forward to this Test match ... I’ve never been to Croke Park. The Irish have been rampant in the way they’ve been playing and have a lot of confidence, so we know what’s coming. There’s going to be waves and waves of attacks. We’ve got to stand toe-to-toe against them and also take Ir...

What he has been through this season, the win against Australia then four losses on the trot, all of which could have been turned into wins, that’s the world we live in. It’s pretty tough. But this is not about me and Andy Robin...
He's still got to pass a contact test, so he's still got to go out and do some contact work
What matters is not Andy Robinson's opinion or my opinion but Marius's opinion. We train and play within the laws of the game.
I was pleased with the way Graeme carried the ball and ran strongly. I've made no secret that I'm a Graeme Morrison fan and I believe that having a centre of his quality in the midfield, with his pace and physicality, is important for us if we want to win rugby matches.
No referee has ever spoken to me about that ... It doesn't matter what my opinion is, or that of Andy Robinson: all that matters is the opinion of Marius Jonker. We play within the laws of the game.
There's a lot of ambition and a lot of people are trying very hard
I am a big fan of Andy Robinson's ... I had great experiences under him. He creates enormous energy, he brings confidence, he brings trust from the players and he brings physicality mixed in with detail.
I have spoken about the need for us to be consistent and put together back-to-back performances ... We did some good things against England last weekend but we have to look for improvements against a well-balanced Ireland team who will be looking to bow out on a high from the final match at Croke Park.
Leeds don’t just have top class players in the team and on the bench, they have people like Andy Robinson and Mike Greller who can’t even get onto the team sheet on a Saturday.
For me, issues can be solved in a week
We have more mature ideas and a coach who's positive ... In terms of philosophy, Andy Robinson and Martin Johnson are about as far apart on the spectrum as it is possible to get.
When we put England under pressure there were a couple of occasions when we chose the wrong options
I thought we again showed a lack of rugby decision-making skills ... Andy Robinson is trying to play an open game, but we haven’t got the players to do it. And he’s also going to have to come to terms with the fact that Dan Parks isn’t the kind of stand-off he’s really looking for.
If you are off your feet you can't play the ball ... That's the law. There is no issue with interpretation. I think he should have been stronger.
Andy Robinson has got all these leaders in different areas of the park but there doesn't seem to be a lot of overall leadership. I think Chris Cusiter is a good player but I'm not sure if he's a good captain. I'd like to see Kellock as captain and let Cusiter concentrate on his own performance.
The thing for us, and what I said to the team, is that we can stand toe-to-toe with anybody and play against anybody
But as I said, that's what Andy Robinson is like. He's mentioned before if guys go out injured that just because you're not on the bench doesn't mean you won't necessarily be starting. So that was at the back of my mind.
We've created chances, we've played some good rugby ... It is just a question of taking that next step and finishing off a game.
