against good great week win zealand
It's great to go to the week off having a good win against a New Zealand side.
certainly great marquee period players rugby signing
It's certainly great to have one of the marquee players in world rugby signing with us for such a period of time, so we're particularly excited.
body dozen game games player starting super tough week
It's an enormously tough game in the forwards. Week in week out, the body contact, the collisions are enormous, so to think you can be a starting player week in week out, potentially over 15 Super 14 games and a dozen Tests, it's an unrealistic expectation.
absolutely bit contest football game style tackle ugly
It's a bit of an ugly game this year, all round. The open, free-flowing, try-for-try game is gone. The tackle contest is now intense. It's absolutely gripping football but it's a different style of play.
although bit domino drew fear happens lure offers wait western
It's a bit of a domino effect. We'll wait and see what happens with Drew Mitchell, although I fear there may be some third-party offers that could lure him over to the Western Force.
express interest open
It's an open market. If you want to express an interest (in a player) then you express interest.
goes track tuesday
We'll see how he goes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's on track to be on the bench.
advantage gives options
A lot of the things he can do, no-one else can do. He gives you options no-one else can give you, so you take advantage of what he offers.
bike
You've really got to be on your bike for this game.
bonus inside point score three
You score three times inside the first 30 (minutes) and the bonus point is there for the grab. We just didn't play particularly smart.
easy expectation road
There will be no easy road there and we don't have any expectation it will be.
football function game games player starting stress super tough week
I would stress that this is a function of the way football is going. It's an enormously tough game in the forwards. To think you can be a starting player week in and week out over potentially all of the Super 14 games is an unrealistic expectation.
certainly character good greatest
It certainly wasn't our greatest game. But it was a very good test of our character.
relentless tremendous work
He's got a tremendous work-rate and is relentless at the breakdown.
