everybody good guess host performance players rather shoes
I think everybody will be primed for a good performance. And I guess I'd rather have experienced players who've been there and done that than a whole host of players who haven't. I'd rather be in our shoes than their shoes.

Julian is a fantastic young player with a long future as a professional rugby player, hopefully, at the Brumbies.
bit both extra given opportunity physically players strength work
The players are fresher both physically and mentally, but it's also given us an opportunity to do a bit of extra work on our conditioning and strength this week.

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.
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.

He's a tremendously gifted player with a phenomenal understanding of the game.

He's been consistently among the best players at both Super 14 and Test level for a number of seasons and it is a huge boost to the team to have George with us for another three seasons.
encourage hope players quality soon stay
I hope it is done soon for our own quality and to encourage other players to stay or come here.
chance gene matt playing pressure
We just want to give Matt the chance to feel comfortable at 12 (inside centre) and not put the pressure on him that comes with playing at 10. Gene Fairbanks will be our back-up five-eighth, not Matt.
character four good tremendous tries
We scored four tries and we haven't scored four tries this year, so there's a lot of good things to come out of it. I thought we showed tremendous character out there.
best case four six
Best case it's a seven-10 day injury. At worst, it's four to six weeks.
