Eddie Jones Game Quotations

I saw that we were sort of struggling to get points. We'd let (Minnesota) get the game manageable. When I came in the game, the opportunity presented itself so I took advantage of it. I was just being aggressive because I had legs.

There has to be some sort of officiating of the actual laws of the game. Rugby is in a really negative spiral at the moment where the game is rewarding negativity at the tackle contest. There is no reward at all for trying to play rugby. We're a side that actually tries to play rugby and we're not being encouraged to play.

We got happy just taking the threes. After a tough game (a 95-89 loss at Detroit on Friday), you may not have the leg strength. That was key. We were trying to penetrate and kick. The shots didn't go down. Just don't blame it on shooting. You can never blame a loss on shooting. It's what you do defensively.

We got ourselves into a position to win the game and we let ourselves down again. It's not good enough.

You enjoy being put in that position. You want to be in that position. As a kid you always think about making big shots to win a game or send a game into overtime. Even to this day, I still have dreams like that.

Every game we played them (Dallas) was close, other than the last game. Actually we were up 19 points in that game, and we let them come back and beat us, we know we can win a game there. I think for us, it's can we finish games?

It was a bad game all the way around. The good thing about this league is that we have an opportunity to bounce back the next night.

I knew if we could somehow take him away from his game or make it tough for him to score, our chances of winning the game were high.
