Notes
Quotes from John Plumtree

“We worked really hard on attack, it hasn’t been easy losing personnel and combinations keep changing which makes life difficult for us, but the boys have gone out there and looked to play adventurous rugby, playing with ball in hand, building up some real pressure on the opposition. People who know rugby will see that, but ultimately we didn’t get the results, they just haven’t gone our way.

“We’re just going from week to week, we want to take the pressure off, play for each other, play for jersey, that’s important. We’re in a different set of circumstance with the team because of the fact that we have so many guys out, we just have to put our heads together, we’ve sent 4-5 guys home and we are only halfway through the tour. We’ve had to change personnel, we’ve had to play players out of position, it’s not great. Right now the focus is getting a team prepared for the weekend.”
