Andy Robinson Matt Quotations

I always said I would consider bringing Matt back if I felt he was playing well for his club,

Matt is an important part of the England squad and made a big contribution during the Autumn series and the Six Nations. He will be missed by during this crucial time of the season and by ourselves on the tour to Australia and we wish him a swift and full recovery.

We need more pain at the contact area. There were times when we were going to ground too easily, arriving in ones rather than twos or threes. Matt is our best prop as far as his overall game is concerned. He's there for his mobility and work around the field.

It has been part of my plans for this game for Matt to be in the starting position. With his experience, his ability to control the forwards, which is probably better than Harry's at the moment, I thought it was the right decision.

We will be monitoring the situation with Matt overnight.
