Fair enough, you should seek him out after the match next week and tell him so.
I want him to be saying the same and all being well next season or the season after he may well be, however I think that is unrealistic for this coming season, although who knows we could make a right Connacht of things and surprise a few folk.

Unlike Robinson, who could be horribly thin-skinned, there is a palpable mental resilience and openness to Cockerill, not to mention a sense of a man who is prepared to throw himself in at the deep end. The Midlander constantly talks about fronting up, and unlike Robinson has moved his family north.
“The whole family has moved, lock-stock and barrel,” he said. “That’s important to me and the family because I’m going to ask a lot of the players so I’m doing exactly the same. The kids have moved school and the wife has left the job which she likes – so I had better make it work.”
“I want players to roll their sleeves up, grit their teeth, and get into the middle of it, so the people who come to watch can see that Darcy Graham cares, Blair Kinghorn cares, Ben Toolis is in the middle of the fight, and Ross Ford is leading the charge.
