Frederic Michalak Playing Quotations

The mood is very good and very relaxed. However, having seen them play so well it has given us a little edge in training because the Irish are at the top of their form, playing very well and it's going to be a very tough match,

We were following Scotland rather than playing our own game and imposing our style on them and mastering them. We have to have a good analysis of the game before we play Ireland and work out why it went wrong.

I am aware that I am playing at difficult moments, when you have to concentrate the most. I take this as a vote of confidence.

I'm back on my bike and in the gym doing weight training so I'm pretty confident I'll be playing again at the beginning of January.
