Last updated : 16 July 2006 By Morris (Bristol)
Gary Johnson has worked with Phil Jevons and Liam Fontaine before but the Latvian tour is the first chance to spend time with Jamie McCombe and Enoch Showunmi

"Jamie McCombe is a good professional and has already showed that he's dangerous at set-pieces," he said. "Enoch's done OK. He's a big powerful lad but has got to be fitter for what I want him to do - but he knows that. He's an intelligent lad and he's picking things up very quickly.

"They've been training or playing twice a day in 37 degree heat and I thought they needed a day away from it.," Johnson said after giving the players a day off.
