This is sacred ground today. The price of freedom is truly visible here today. |
We could build one hell of a team playing the Thunderbirds week in and week out. |
We had to play short for 10 minutes and I actually think we came out on top during that period. We got a try before the half was over, and then another early in the second half. So I thought that ten minute period was the real difference in the match. |
We have a lot of new players that are new to how we do things, so at the end of the day we haven't really fired on all cylinders this season and we're still a ways from doing that. It's still underachieving. It can be a lot better. |
We have been on top for a long time, defeated a lot of teams. There are plenty of reasons for people to have grudges and I accept that. There is a price for leadership. Others will always debate or criticize your decision. |
We have great respect for the rivalry. This match is the oldest match that we play. It has a very unique significance. |
We just wanted to stick to our systems and keep a high level of effort in the game. I thought the system part was kind of okay, our effort was kind of okay, but I thought there were three or four players whose stock went up tonight. |
We think our next team down is a bit undercooked. |
We're happy to put whatever guys that are next on the list out there. Injuries are part of the game and player availability is what it is. So, we'll just go with the next guy in the depth chart, stick him in there, and he'll be the guy in blue and gold. |
We're looking forward to the challenge. Playing against good teams brings out the best rugby in us. |
We've been willing to let off the gas when a win has been secured this season. There's no doubt that we have to play 80 minutes of rugby if we want to be successful. I think the players are very well aware of what needs to be done. |
You don't break legs, but you do take food out of the mouths of kids, ... This is a business that is begging for regulation. |
