"I just tried to approach the game the same way we did the last couple of games. Just tried to play hard, aggressive and just try to do the best for our team, so just locked in like everybody."

"Our team is just going up from here. We haven't hit our peak yet. Obviously, there are still things that we can work on as individuals, but I think the team environment is definitely there. I couldn't be more proud of each and every single athlete that went up today and stepped in as well."

Cornell jumped out to an early lead, building a 4-1 advantage by the end of the first quarter, with goals from Iacobellis, Michaud, Tully, and Bergin.

I was pretty meh on the pool play format given two teams of five advancing in each pool, which felt like it was going to water down the proceedings a bit... but I ended up really enjoying the days of wall-to-wall pool play.

It was an incredible atmosphere and we had really missed this feeling. The players and staff are great people, they help me every day, and I wanted to dedicate the goal to them as a well as the fans

Very well, very well, very happy and grateful. I want to say that we are going to live the best years of our lives over the next five years with a great team that will continue to win. That is the main objective. And then to have a stadium with 105,000 people in the stands. That will be a joy to see and is a guarantee of our club's future.

No. These things happen. Now is a good time for them [Lewy and Torres] to improve. From what I've seen in training, we're on the right track. We have played four games in the last 11 days and the options to make changes are limited. In addition, some players returned from injury. We need a little more time.

The rigid gameplan that was supposed to evolve to suit the players available has been increasingly rumbled and results have spiralled downwards. As their hosts France prepare to try to clinch back-to-back Six Nations titles for the first time since 2007, England will do well to avoid finishing in the bottom two.

I already said after the 4-0 against Atlético that we would learn from our mistakes, we are a young squad and we have understood that. We're approaching it with great enthusiasm, knowing there will be a second leg, but we're sure they'll come out with everything.

I really appreciate them for what I see. I wasn't nervous today. I saw them after it the 3-0 and I had confidence in them. That's what we're aiming for: this great atmosphere and focusing on daily training.
