"To hold England to a winning margin of less than 40 points is something not too many teams can do these days. England are by far the best team we've played this year. They've got such pace and power out wide and their forwards don't give the ball away too much."
"The gulf in class is evident - they are a world-class team and we're not at that level. We can compete with pretty much any country up front but we don't have the type of world-class back like Brian O'Driscoll that you need to really make the difference at this level."
