"So there had been some pressure on the lads and we have been working them very hard. I am pleased with the outcome.
"Fitness was our issue. I wanted to stretch them a bit and put them under pressure.
"This is what pre-season is all about and the quicker we get there, to the level we want, then the better.
"We wanted to win the game as you always do but it is not about that. It is about individuals getting fit and pushing themselves to the limit and I thought some of the performances – particularly from the younger lads – was really good.

"We have high standards and we have brought that in. We need intensity in our game and I am pleased with the way their have worked and their attitude."
