France, England, Ireland and Wales are all strong opposition, especially at home. It will be a challenging tour.

Temperatures throughout Northwest Europe have dipped below normal. Temperatures in England, northern France and Germany will be 4 to 10 degrees below normal on Friday and through the weekend. The cold looks set to continue further out as well.

We felt we needed to come back home and get this win. It was a much-needed win after last night. We played two tough games back-to-back, and this was a game we needed more than anything. Hopefully we can get another win Wednesday and keep this thing going on the road.

The further off from England, the nearer is to France - / Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance.

I believe we are getting closer to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. But England and France are still some way off.

Even though we are the home side, the pressure will be on England. I can't remember how long it is since they reached the final of a leading tournament, so there will be so much expectation on them now.
