Mike Ruddock Great Quotations

Scott is a great coach who is hugely valued here and we would like him to stay with the Welsh team. He is aware of that.

Matthew has shown when he comes onto the field he has pace and great footwork. I think he deserves his opportunity.

We kept the ball away from contact and scored some great tries

We respect New Zealand hugely. They are a great team, they've got great players. They are superbly coached and they've got a great record.

The same 15 players have a chance to dispel the demons of that loss and show what they are really capable of. The players we have at our disposal are capable of great things and we are maintaining our high standards of preparation in order to ensure that great things are achieved.

Ryan is not looking great for the New Zealand game,

It's great to see Mark Jones in the squad after two very serious knee operations. He is a recognized finisher, try-scorer and line-breaker and you have to be impressed by his determination to get himself back on the field after such serious injuries.
