John Smit Quotations

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. It is probably the worst thing in the world to wait and see if you are going to win the trophy. We must make sure we retain the title ourselves.

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.

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.

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 our half which cost us in the end.

Pocahontas, look at me, I'd rather die tomorrow than live 100 years without knowing you.

For in Virginia, a plaine Souldier that can use a Pick-axe and spade, is better than five Knights.

Remember the look in the eyes of the Aussies and the Kiwis yesterday - I don't want to see that here.
