Yeah, well that's right.

I think you look at the second half position stats, the amount of defence that we had to do in that second half, you know, and just not to

not to concede too many points there with the amount of possession that they did have.

That was a testament to the grit in the group, the will, and just a collective effort really.

Yeah, at the moment there's a few walking wounded, so we'll piece a little bit more of that picture together tomorrow and Sunday I'd imagine.

No, I told him at half-time, so he's right.

But just a smart player and just doesn't get ruffled, really.

Just gets on with his business.

But then we lost the winger to a yellow card, so there was shuffling going on.

But like I said on TV too, I think if you actually watch what Damien's doing there, putting people into position, getting them organised, I think he really stood up in that situation where they were trying to work it out amongst themselves and he just gave it a good, clear direction.

So we learn on the hop pretty quick.

I'd probably just go back to an internal moment that we had actually in the change shed after the Christchurch game.

I think Luke Jacobson gave an outstanding message to the group there in that moment.

That message, that learning from that game served us in the last few weeks and we took that experience and used it and we won the game that mattered against the Crusades.

We lost two of the round robin games and we managed to get on the right side of the game that was knockout.

So for us that's the satisfaction.

The margin of points is

a by-product of the effort that's gone in.

But really I think the satisfaction is what we learnt and how we've, you know, three weeks ago, from Luke's point and how we've worked our way through each week, it's been good.

Well, I think he just dealt with, you know, what we could take out of the two games having to play the Crusaders, both games.
