We wanted to keep the pressure on them and play on their end of the field. We accomplished that goal. We played out of a defensive formation using five defenders. We utilized this alignment because of the speed of their two wings. We tried to push the ball away from their speed.

Our defense kept us in the game until our offense could get us a lead. We are improving as a team at the right time of the season.

To be down 11 at halftime (Thursday) and come out and play so well to start the second half - we have to stop doing that.

They've been playing really well of late. Nobody expected them to be here. There's nobody I'd rather play.

I've got some big decisions ahead because I would like to play Super 14 but they are all in the background right now with this grand final.

I think our team embodies the spirit of what Coach is all about, which is teamwork, which is unselfish play, which is a commitment at both ends of the floor to play together, team defense, team offense, giving yourself up for your teammates. As we continue to win, they all get recognized.
