"They've spoken more tonight than I have to any of my brothers [Denis, Pat and Johnson] in the last five years. "It's all a bit strange. I think when the game started they were focused on the game.

My assistants had the feeling in the warm up with some of the guys not really focused, not right adrenaline in their bodies."
