I can honestly say that we as the coaching staff tried to impress upon the players beforehand that victory was not the most important thing in this first game. In this competition you can get lucky and win here and there, but if you don't start to consistently produce quality high-class performances, then you go nowhere.

Jake and I chatted at length and a compromise has been reached. We have agreed to carefully manage the players (in other words, they will not be run into the ground) and in return there will be no prejudice against them when Jake selects his squad for the end-of-year tour.

Against Free State we did all the playing, but we did not play correctly. If we play correctly against Western Province, the win will take care of itself. We really do have an exciting side. We are very much looking forward to rectifying matters after last week's little hiccup.
