00:00 Yeah, how great's eight?

00:02 Yeah, look, it's...

00:04 Yeah, they say it's hard to win back-to-back, yo.

00:07 It's even harder to win eight straight, yo.

00:11 We know a lot of people are just waiting for us to sort of,

00:15 I suppose, drop the ball and let somebody else sort of win it,

00:18 but we're just not ready for that yet.

00:20 We've got victory now!

00:23 The big black bears are back on the road again!

00:26 Back on the road again!

00:28 Back on the road again, the big black bears are!

00:40 Yeah, look, I thought we started off extremely well.

00:43 Really happy with how the boys started.

00:53 And, look, a lot of that was off the back of Mick Watton's kicking game.

00:56 I thought he was really good for them.

00:58 We sort of gave them too much field possession

01:00 and they took advantage of it.

01:04 But to our boys, when times got tough,

01:06 they just sort of went to hard work and we got through it.
