I ’ m not saying we are happy with this level . We will still need to improve before hopefully getting to France in 2016 but there is time to improve . ‘ I think , looking at the team we have got , when we lose the ball we go and win it back quickly . What we have been working on is pressing as a team from the back . ‘ There are times when we have to tuck in as a team and then hit teams on the break and we have so much pace in the team , which players don ’ t like playing against . ‘ Teams will be a bit wary about that when they play us because of the pace and ability we have . ‘ I am one of the older guys in the dressing room and I have responsibility that I am enjoying as captain and with the experience I have I hope to pass that on , ’ he added .
