Quotes corner

Andy Farrell: "What's coming in 12 months' time, I think if we're honest with ourselves, where we are right now, is that good enough to board the plane believing that 100% we've a chance to win the World Cup?

"I don't think so, but that excites me more than anything for what's coming up in the next 12 months. I see a group that's ready for the next challenge which is to ask themselves questions, where it is that they want to go to individually and as a collective.

"It's something I think that's very hard to see because we've got to go past a lot of people's ceilings to do that, but if you can't get excited about that then you're in the wrong place."

Felipe Contepomi: "It is the only team we have not beaten away from home yet.

"It would mean a lot, but I think more so it is for us to try to get better, be competitive against the third [best] team in the world, and of the best four teams in the last 15 years or so.

"For us, it is just going and playing against one of those top teams in the world and being competitive and trying to impose our game or our game plan.

"Then the result, it comes with a lot of variables, the only one we control is the one that we evaluate ourselves from. That is imposing our gameplan and doing what we said we were going to do. If that takes us to a good result, much better."
