The French team is working well now. (Last month's 1-0) victory over Ireland has given us confidence. At one stage the boat did start to take water a bit and was starting to sink. It wasn't a crisis ... a changing of generations, establishing a new status.

I remember the match pretty well. Lens gave us a hell of a lot of trouble. They were strong.

This is such a great victory for us. I think it gave us our confidence back.

We picked up Victory after we were in business about a year. They flew us out to the factory to try out the bikes in person. We already knew they were the best cruiser bikes for the money out there. Victory is the fastest-growing cruising bike brand on the market. It's an outstanding motorcycle.

That victory against Australia has given us the confidence that we can beat any side in the world,

The frustration was difficult to accept. For our part, we want to settle a score.
