Alan Murray handed the post-match interview duties and said:

"The lads we left behind were for precautionary reasons, we expect them all to be available.

"With Scott, Emre and Alan, had it been a league game on Tuesday they would have all probably been able to play.

"We've just been extra-careful. Shay's the same, we expect him to be fit for Sunday and raring to go. We've just wrapped them in cotton wool and looked after them.

"In Alan's case we took advice from our medical team, and they said leave him behind so we did. But we are really confident he will be okay."

"It was an excellent workout at short notice. Give the players credit, they went about their business in a very professional manner and ended up with a very good result.

"We started off by showing them the respect they deserved, and then ability takes over. If you showboat and take things easy then it becomes difficult, but all the players put in a good shift and we're very pleased.

"Shola was looking sharp and aggressive, and we need more of that from him. He's got to make sure his good work has some end product and he's shown that on the night.

"The work-rate of James and Kieron will always give people a problem. They are like dogs with a bone, at it all the time, and that's very pleasing for the manager.

"As for young Charles, he is still only 18 and people keep forgetting he was pushed into situation last season where the team was under pressure.

"We've said all along that with younger players, ideally you want to put them into the Premiership when the team is doing well so we can nurture them along rather than under pressure. But credit to them, the still performed well under pressure.

"They've done well and it bodes well for the future that we have players like Charles, James and Steven (Taylor). It might be that they take more of back row position immediately, but it's still great to have people like that who you know can come in and do a job for you."

Stephen Carr added:

"It was a late decision to come over as we needed another game and a work-out for the lads.

"The Irish football fans love Premiership teams coming over, it's a big game for them and gives them a lift.

"At this stage it's all about getting fit and pushing yourself to the limit for Sunday's game at Arsenal. It's about getting sharp.

"Pre-season games are important. A few of the lads have not played that many games and needed a work-out - but Sunday will be completely different in terms of pace and quality. It will be tough."
