MATCH QUOTES

"The doctor told me that if I want to play I can, because I won't do the shoulder any more harm. “But he also said I would face a big pain barrier. "I had treatment last night and today and I'll probably have more on the plane. With a painkilling injection I'm hopeful of getting through." "His [Garry Thompson’s] foot didn't connect. I did the damage when I fell. I don't hold any grudges. We had both been dishing out some stick." Allan Evans. "The performance was a 'continuation of our improved confidence and ensures that the players are in the right frame of 'mind for the European Cup." Tony Barton.
