It's been a good day, no more than that. We're really looking forward to this week and playing in the final next weekend.

A lot of this game is about the attitude shown by players, and the attitude this week has been immense. You need a real mind set when you're playing the French in their own back yard. The guys are really looking forward to it.

If we're brutally honest, this is the game we look forward to most, ... a little more spice following our meeting in the World Cup semifinal.

We made the change for the France game but playing Australia it's right to go back to Tindall. He is a key part of our team and has been for a long time.

It would be good to have Wilkinson there if he's at his best,

I'm just looking forward to playing, and if anything else comes my way it's a bonus. I'm looking to have an injury-free season and doing things for Lancashire to get us where we belong [on qualifying to play for England]
