Pat Howard Tom Quotations

I'd love Tom to have been available. But now is the right time for him to be furthering his development.

Everyone in life gets their opportunity somehow and you have got to take it. Tom has had a difficult couple of weeks. I have been giving him a very hard time and he has taken his opportunity with both hands. He said to me before the game he was going to play well and he backed it up.

I don't want to get carried away on this subject because Tom is a work in progress, but if the circumstances were right he could play Test rugby today.
