"There is better rugby being played in Wales but I am disappointed at the lack of discipline. There is too much off the ball stuff going on. It seems to be a bit of a joke for some people. They have played against each other for years. It's like brother against brother and they fight." - Wales' New Zealand born coach Graham Henry tries to get his head around Welsh inter-club rivalry.

"France pulled off a stunning exploit against the All Blacks, but I am sure that if we had played them 10 times we would still win only once. My objective is to create a French team that can not only compete with the Southern Hemisphere but beat them once in every two games." - New French coach Bernard Laporte offers his version of Utopia.

"This was the worst I have seen from an Italian side. They won't go anywhere in this competition if they play like that - and that goes for Italy in the Six Nations as well. We saw them adopt a very cynical approach today." - Bath coach Andy Robinson, no shrinking violet in his day, slates Padova for their aggression following Bath's 41-0 victory.
