| "Felipe still has exams this week but I don't think they have hindered his form. It's something that he knows how to deal with. It won't be an issue for us next year."
On Player Recruitment: "My focus is on the three remaining games in the Magners League so I'm not going to be drawn on speculation. I don't want to get into a debate right now, but the one thing I will say is that every piece of recruitment is done with the best interests of the team at heart. We hope to make announcements in the coming weeks."
Injury News: "Guy Easterby has a 50/50 chance of playing. You could almost describe it as a miracle recovery. Bernard Jackman has been suffering from a pinched nerve in his neck but he will be in the 22 this week.
"Ronan (McCormack) won't play again this season which is very frustrating for the player because he has certainly developed this year. I wouldn't be 100% sure if he requires surgery.
"We're not going to take any chances with Brian (O'Driscoll) but we're hopeful that he will be back before the end of the season."
On promotions of Healy & O'Donohoe: "Cian had a good look at the competitive level that is required over in the Dragons and there's no better away game to learn than in that intimidating atmosphere. He wants to be involved and he's pretty keen to get some game time.
"Paul is a player we see a good future for. He has a lot of work to do but we're very much looking forward to giving him an opportunity at some stage."
