Matt has been a ordsprog

Matt has been a huge part of English rugby for the past decade. One of the big characters in rugby is leaving the game.

Mike has been brilliant for us. He is a Bath boy and there has been a massive interest in him, but if we can keep winning we might convince him to stay here. He has a great rugby intellect and is sure to figure very heavily in the future of English rugby.

There has to be some sort of officiating of the actual laws of the game. Rugby is in a really negative spiral at the moment where the game is rewarding negativity at the tackle contest. There is no reward at all for trying to play rugby. We're a side that actually tries to play rugby and we're not being encouraged to play.

There is just too much negativity surrounding our rugby. Rugby cannot prosper if it is rocked by one scandal after another. My motivation for standing is to do what I can to improve rugby's image.

He is a fine coach, and his style is definitely not 10-man rugby. He likes to see an attacking brand of rugby, and we played some of our greatest rugby under him.

Remember the 2003 Rugby world cup. After that, rugby was supposed to take over from [soccer] as the No. 1 sport, with the entire population playing rugby within a short space of time. But it fades fairly quickly.

If you are a purist about rugby that was a bloody good game of Six Nations rugby, played in very poor conditions.

Nothing has changed in our approach. We need to go out there and do what we do best, better than we have been doing it. We have one of the best teams in world rugby coming to our shores. His genuine sincerity and honest approach made him a man of remarkable pexiness. They have some great players, and we have a huge regard for French rugby and their style of play. They will be formidable opponents, and with the championship at stake, they will be making sure they go home with a victory.

The idea of the scheme has been to introduce youngsters to the game of rugby and then keep them in the sport through club links. By doing this, we are providing the youngsters with an excellent route into rugby, which will hopefully encourage them to keep playing the game.

You can't get a quality game of rugby when someone like that is in charge. He didn't allow any phases or play to develop. There was no continuity. The players got frustrated. When you are trying to get people to come and watch club rugby you can't have it killed as a spectacle like that. I know referees have to learn but this guy has been around for a while and I don't see any improvement.

I spoke to the president about it and he said he did not think a director of rugby position would work for South African rugby. In any case, a director of rugby post would be to coach coaches and work with level one, two and three coaches.

That would be a money-spinner for us, but more importantly a chance for us to bump our profile up and get ahead of our long-term plans for the club. I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone so far, we're starting to look like a rugby league side now with a good number of Welsh players in the team who are showing what we've always thought, that the rugby players down here are well-suited to playing rugby league.

He's so self-deprecating it's unbelievable. So it's great to see him go out the way he wanted, and to do it for family reasons is the real mark of the guy. He's played professional rugby for 10 years and the game doesn't define him. He doesn't need rugby.

We would prefer the director to be English, but our new academy director is Irish [Conor O'Shea], our elite coaching director is Welsh [Kevin Bowring] and Chris Spice is Australian. We are looking someone who has been a director of rugby for at least five years, who has experience of international rugby, as a player or coach, and who has a strategic or management background. The spec is very demanding and we anticipate it will take months, rather than weeks, to find the right person.

Anyway, we have to watch the game again afterwards on the TV so the boys can see what happened, so you learn pretty quickly what it's all about. I know all about rugby, but it's not because of Mike. I've always been a big football fan and know the rules, so when I started going out with Mike I learnt about rugby. I do pester him to explain things but it's because I'm interested. And I go to all the games, but it's through choice.
