We've got a good formula going and the harder it gets to score, the tougher it gets to get in the game and we're denying them really well.

But all in all I think we're in pretty good shape moving forward.

It felt really good. I was back to my best. The team has been a bit up and down but it was good to get five points and back in the mix.

It was a good series, and we were pleased with the way we played.
