Before the game against Scotland, there are four other games that are just as important for us.

If France are not at their best then we could beat them (in what would be their first ever away victory in the Six Nations).

We should not consider the England match to be a dangerous one, but instead see it as a major occasion. We are going to play against a great team but we must keep going like we did in Dublin.

We must be practical. We are going to play a team of superior level. If England produces the top of its potential, it will be very difficult for us. But we must be prepared to take advantage of any mistake ... certainly we can't only think of defense.

For us it will now become fundamental to improve the small details. It is these details that make the difference between top sides and sides like ours.

They [England] played at their best and left nothing for an opponent which had won the Grand Slam last year.

We want to play with the same rights of the other team, we cannot play with a handicap.

It will be the first home match of a squad capable of playing with the same spirit that excited the 4,000 Italians at Lansdowne Road.

We should not consider the England match to be a dangerous one, but a pleasure for the fans, who will have to be the 16th man on the field for the duration of the match.
