“We now have real problems at prop because Euan Murray is still to return from injury, and Ben Prescott may have to undergo a shoulder operation. That leaves us with only one full-time prop in Lee Harrison. Euan might make it back this week, but if he doesn't we'll be looking for a club prop to step up, probably Eric Milligan [of Glasgow Hawks].”
“Effectively, we have only one full-time prop who is fit - Lee Harrison. Euan might make it for the weekend but we will probably have to ask for a club prop like Eric to step up.”
“We're looking at three to four months recovery, and as well as missing a lot of games for us he now has a lot of work ahead to get back for the Six Nations,”
“I always said that we had a good squad and good preparation this season, it's just taken a couple of weeks to gel. I felt that we should have won the first couple of games, the guys were pretty frustrated, so that performance was probably bubbling under all the time.”
“It was a fantastic squad performance. Our defence was outstanding throughout the game. Tonight's result has banished the ghost of our first two performances when we did not finish teams off. The guys were focused and determined and really played as a team. It was the kind of performance that has always just been bubbling under the surface.”
“You can't afford to miss crucial tackles and expect to get away with it. If you miss tackles against almost anyone in the Celtic League you are going to give away scores and certainly we were punished today.”
