Six Nations 2012: We had the nation behind us (and James Bond) and delivered for Stuart Lancaster They all came to the match so I will be able to gloat a little bit and watch a replay of the game today. It took a while for us to get used to the conditions but once we had settled down, our pack delivered an amazing scrummaging performance against a strong Ireland side. In games like these, the forwards have to do the hard work and for our pack to dominate the scrum the way that they did enabled us to kick on and win the game. Our reaction to the penalty try that we were awarded showed just how strong our bond is as a team. After about 50 minutes, the holes began to appear in the Irish defence and we took full advantage. It is great to finish our campaign with a win and as players we are also delighted for the management team because the Rugby Football Union have some big decisions to take now about who becomes head coach. There are also all the physios, medical guys and conditioners. Everyone has come together really nicely and we have really got back a great team environment and it is great to repay everyone for all their hard work. I can say that I genuinely want Stuart Lancaster to keep going in the job. You can't fault him for what he has done. He has brought a brilliant attitude to the whole operation. He is very professional and you can see the guys want to play for him and they want to go out and do him proud. Stuart has really enforced this pride in the shirt - that you are playing for your family and friends but also your nation and there is no bigger honour than that and he has really reinforced that time and again. Playing at Twickenham last night, the crowd were really behind us and it does help you kick on. Stuart says in his meetings that our aim is to get a nation behind us. What he has done is bring in some fresh faces and talent who have taken their opportunity with both hands and really flourished. Hopefully we will see them in an international shirt for years to come. There are big decisions to be made and Stuart has done all he can to sort to put his hat in the ring. I am pretty sure he will be delighted the way things have gone. We wanted that elusive win against Wales but I think it kicked us into gear and inspired us to win the two final wins anyway. What Stuart has done with the coaches is that he has got guys behind him who are experienced. What he is good at is motivating, organising and getting everyone ready. Obviously Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell have done a superb job as well. It has been a team effort. Stuart also has a good record coaching with the Saxons and brought out the best in other players. There are always going to be questions about anyone who is appointed to the job but at the end of the day, the results have spoken for themselves. Stuart has asked for a response from the players and we have managed to deliver that for him. If he can keep doing that, this team can go a long, long way.
