I scrambled my way in but the way I played the 17th showed me I can handle it when I need to. I was beating myself up after Portugal but I was a lot calmer today,
The Independent (Andy Farrell)

There were a lot of friendly faces out there today who hadn't asked for tickets and it was fantastic to get that support.
