I was at the club today.  Martin Johnson phoned first thing to apologise on behalf of the team for the shambolic display against the Welsh. I told him that it was unacceptable and I expected a better show for the rest of the tournament (or sponsorship would be cut).

I had arranged for a number of my more remote staff to come and meet me during the morning. It was an opportunity to give them a bit of a pep talk and re-motivate them to go back and work harder (as I said "Remember there are 168 hours in a week - and I only expect you to work 80 - Make the most of your spare time to better yourselves").

I found the whole thing a bit tiring so I've decided to take the next couple of days for myself and the family.
