Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.

We had been getting some bad results, now it is up to us to make up the ground and catch Manchester United.

Tackling still comes down to leverage and owning that leverage and making your hits.

This is a physical game, and that's how you have to play. When you do that, the defense eventually gets tired of tackling you.

When a defender comes up to tackle me, I want him to feel that ground.

I had a lot of times with Wales as well when we were getting beat - and beaten well - and you learn to deal with it. You learn that next time it happens, you roll your sleeves up and give everything for the team.

In Australia, we've always been a country that runs the ball right up the middle on the fifth tackle. We've never seen a challenge we didn't like, and we've certainly never run from one.

Football is a game of skill, we kicked them a bit and they kicked us a bit.

But at some point, we've got to have disciplined play and have got to coach better. I'm not putting it on the players. We've got to coach them to tackle and block better. It's as simple as that. If we can do those things, we'll have a chance.
