We are focused on finishing in the top six and I am sure Aberavon will want to maintain a top-four place, especially with cash incentives at stake.

We could start Gavin in the second row. That is an option we are looking at for Saturday. He has certainly improved over the last couple of months and this would add another string to his bow.

The biggest unknown is how competitive bidding will affect the overall market. How is it really going to affect the whole industry? Is it going to have an effect just on pricing or will it have an effect on access? We won't know until we get farther into it.

That miss will haunt me, but there you go. We just didn't get going and we take collective responsibility for that. But this will make us all the more determined to go out and win the title against Manchester United next week.

This will be a good day. How many bats can I break?

This thing is an enormous fiasco, ... really undermines its legitimacy, and this result guarantees the guerrilla war will go on.
