I wasn’t hurting as much as the lads who were out there, but I definitely felt it and I know how hard the boys have taken that.

They will be disappointed with the account we put out but we have got another week to get back on the horse and take that horse to the water, and you can ask that horse, 'hey horsey, do you want to have a drink or do you want to swim?'"

It is up to that horse to then realise what he wants to do in his life, and that horse at the moment wants to go out on Saturday and he wants to clippety-clop all the way to the Stoop and he wants to say hello to those fans and he wants to say [horse voice] 'I'm sorry about the result last week but I'm going to give a better performance here at home against Bath.'

He is a slightly Irish horse. So we are looking forward to getting back on that horse.

Are you yourself looking forward to getting "back on the horse", six months since we last saw you?

I don't like horses. I can't ride.
