Injury changed his career drastically, but he’s stuck it out and is feeling strong again.br /br /"Not having the power in my legs that I used to have was really giving me a hard time and I was really finding it difficult to impose my game in matches," Trimble says. "That's something that sort of snowballed a little bit into a lack of confidence.br /br /"Last year, I got the hunger back and wanted to get myself sorted. I just realised how much it meant to me. I just wanted to put that hard work in and I was delighted that it is starting to pay off."br /br /His try against Bath was sensational as he slalomed through the defence before putting on the afterburners to gas the cover.br /br /"I made the initial break and then I looked to my left to Tom Court who, I'm embarrassed to say, was keeping up with me!br /br /"He was screaming for the ball. I think maybe this time last year I would have given it to him but, as you say, the new confidence in my own ability, I just wanted to take the guy on and then it sort of opened up. Fortunately, I got the try," he said.br /br /Regarding the upcoming Six Nations, he’s anxious about the team announcement.br /br /"Somebody is going to be devastated when the team is announced on Tuesday. Shaggy (Horgan) is playing really well with Leinster and Earlsy is flying with Munster.br /br /"I suppose it's nice to have the strength in depth, but we're all desperate to play. It's a great time, but I'll be a lot happier if my name is read out on Tuesday. I really want to get back on that scene as fast as I can," he said.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_8qbtSnPUygamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_8qbtSnPUygamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span02:27/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-610858961620579359?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=D5g4R4B0Phk:ScJJHyuE3Dw:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/D5g4R4B0Phk" height="1" width="1"/ More...
