Frank Hadden Game Quotations

What I said at half-time was that there were going to be a lot more points in the game and sitting on a lead wasn't an option. We had to be brave in going out to play again which is why the score after half-time was so important.

Steve and I have discussed a formula so that the 'A' team will adapt the same shape of game as the Scotland side so, if someone is required to fly from Canada to South Africa, then they will be up to speed with what's going on.

I think Chris started twice in the November matches and Mike came on after 20 minutes in the New Zealand game and performed exceptionally well - he deserves the opportunity to start this time. At stand-off, the most pertinent factor is that Gordon has only trained twice with Scotland this season while Dan has been consistent throughout.

I started thinking about South Africa two days after the Italy game in mid-March, that's just the nature of the beast. We've played a lot of physical teams in the last 12 months but this is the ultimate challenge for us physically and we're playing them in their own backyard, so it will be really tough.

A cracking game full of excitement until the last and plenty of enthusiasm

It is our last home game and they have got to come in after the match and face up to the supporters. They will need to give their all for 80 minutes before they do that.
