It was a very tough game. We knew it was going to be tight and although we lost, it was a good performance by the boys. We spent a little bit too much time in...

I think the fact that both the Bulls and us are in a similar situation, that we have to win to qualify for a semi-final berth, could result in positive rugby.

We will also contribute to the cause of the South African Players Association (SARPA), as they will benefit financially from the game.

We’re going to Dunedin to win the Tri-nations, not to defend it. We do not want to wait another week to see what will happen in the match between the All Blacks and the Wallabies....

I suppose they are a different kind of player. I’m not quite sure what to expect in terms of shouldering up to Brendan on the weekend, so it’ll be nice.
