00:00We haven't had a lot of ball in the third quarter and the second quarter.

00:03I felt we'd probably capitalize on a few chances in the first quarter.

00:07There's a couple I felt we were pretty unlucky on, particularly the drive into the right-hand corner,

00:12where we didn't get down in time to get the drive on, but we've got to be good enough to cope with that.

00:21Yeah, he's got pretty numb, but we're hopeful it's not too bad.

00:39Yeah, I felt they probably had a fair bit of the game.

00:44As I said, we probably missed a few chances in the first quarter.

00:48Some of it was frustrating for us, and I think we got distracted by that.

00:53Losing Joseph early as well didn't help.

00:57We were already a little bit blue together, losing a couple of guys in the lead-up to kick-off.

01:02It's a really good exercise for us to be able to be put in that situation against a good team.

01:10To be fair to our guys, I felt they stayed really competitive,

01:16albeit for the fact that you can't miss 30-plus tackles in an international against a really good team

01:23and expect to get the result at the end of it.
