White said: "You know what it's like, sometimes when you get on the back end of a result like that it's tough, but I just want to say to you guys well done.

"You guys are flying high, it looks like you've got something special going on here, top of the Premiership, into the semi-finals (in Europe).

"As you guys will all know, sometimes you've got to pay your school fees and I'm sure our guys will all appreciate that when you come to Europe and you play in these games, they are bloody tough.

"I just want to compliment you on the way you played, your attack was outstanding and, for me, even the way you kept us out when it was 59-22 proves you're not giving anything away.

"All the best in the next couple of weeks, I really hope you guys go the whole hog and hopefully you get the double."
