What's good is to see how a team responds to a challenge. We'd just given up the lead, and they turned around right away and put it behind them. I always preach that, and I'll remind them again when I talk to them [today] how important that was.

We like [Holden] on our team, too. We just have to keep him on track. The two games we lost in the playoffs the past two years were the two games he was supposed to pitch but couldn't because he was sick.

The anticipation and the atmosphere of the game was unbelievable. We worked a little bit harder at practice last week and we have some heavy hitters who came through.

So much of the challenge is to find what is good, and make it better.

We want to challenge for the right to win at places like Wasps. But I don't want to talk about records. We have a job to do on Monday, that is all that matters.

It's a nice acting challenge for me because the character's much older and he's Jewish and he's quite lonely. At first he feels like his home is being invaded by this person and they have a few spats, but then he discovers the younger character is also Jewish and he grabs a hold of that. (Gardiner) has other secrets that at first tear us apart then bring us together at the end.
