What they Said
"The doctor told me that if I want to play I can, because I won't do the shoulder any more harm.
โBut he also said I would face a big pain barrier.
"I had treatment last night and today and I'll probably have more on the plane. With a painkilling injection I'm hopeful of getting through."
"His [Garry Thompsonโs] foot didn't connect. I did the damage when I fell. I don't hold any grudges. We had both been dishing out some stick."
Allan Evans.
"The performance was a 'continuation of our improved confidence and ensures that the players are in the right frame of 'mind for the European Cup."
Tony Barton.
