“Some of the individual performances were great. Where was Andy Barron six months ago? It is a long time for us between now and the World Cup. We must use that to prepare as well as we possibly can.”
“They'll be a fantastic challenge for us, and we'll work very hard to get a complement of players that we think are the next group to start working with.”
