"Marc, from the moment he stepped into the camp he properly stepped into that role,” fullback Walker said. “You can see, obviously, there's going to be pressure. I think everyone feels pressure. 

“I'm the oldest head in the camp and I still go out onto the pitch and you still feel a bit anxious, you feel a bit nervous, just because you want to do everyone proud.

“But Marc, I thought he was fantastic. He didn't put foot wrong and hopefully that has got his feelings right now and settle the nerves a little bit, and we can form a good partnership along that back line.”
