"Within Leicester Tigers and this team here, there is no talk here of anything other than the game on Sunday night."

"That is my intention again this week to get the performance we want. "All these things that go on around a team, your job is always to be focused on what you need to do. "Since I've come in here my focus is on what we need to get better today. "We have frameworks in place to make sure how we think about how we train, how we prepare, and we will continue to do that this week."
