“It’s going to be a tough match whoever we play in this tournament. We knew following our win yesterday there was going to be a target on our back as Paralympic champions. We knew we had to bring our A-game and it was good to bring home another victory.
“It’s pretty amazing to play in this environment. I try to do my best to ignore the crowd because that creates its own pressure but sometimes you need to feed off it and you have to take the excitement and buzz off it and when we play France tomorrow it will be an electric atmosphere. We have a bit of a rivalry with them over the last couple of years and we know the crowd will be behind them massively. So we’re hoping our supporters will bring the noise and we can do the talking on the court.”
On his personal performance and scoring 25 tries:
“Without sounding too boring, it’s my job to score tries. The first priority is that you come away with a victory and we’ve come away with two from two so far.”
