Chris Latham Quotations

Last year we were losing games out of stupidity, out of our own stupid mistakes; this time we just ran out of legs.

Obviously there's a lot more space and a lot more freedom but there is, as we've learned over the last couple of days, a fair bit of structure to the sevens game as well.

It is going to be a bit of a race against the clock for us, but the squad is together now and really looking forward to the week ahead.

I was personally pleased with the boys and proud to be their captain tonight.

Big Dell sells - Sharpie ... there's not much to say about Sharpie.

Rugby's a cruel game. We didn't play to our full potential and we've come within a point, so we just have to try to stay positive.

As a senior player group and as a management group we've got to make sure that, one, we've learnt lessons from that and we can move forward and, two, make sure the less experienced players and junior players are aware of what's required in preparation when we're away from home.

As a player who finished last season starting with the Wallabies I'm under no illusions that I'll walk back in. But it's that sort of thing that brings out the best in any player.

The difference between the teams was commitment. The Chiefs came out more committed, determined to do their absolute best in attack and defense and that was the difference.
