Laurie Fisher Players Quotations

He's been consistently among the best players at both Super 14 and Test level for a number of seasons and it is a huge boost to the team to have George with us for another three seasons.

We would be playing players who are fit to play so if he was fit to play, he'd play.

I think everybody will be primed for a good performance. And I guess I'd rather have experienced players who've been there and done that than a whole host of players who haven't. I'd rather be in our shoes than their shoes.

It's certainly great to have one of the marquee players in world rugby signing with us for such a period of time, so we're particularly excited.

The players are fresher both physically and mentally, but it's also given us an opportunity to do a bit of extra work on our conditioning and strength this week.

I hope it is done soon for our own quality and to encourage other players to stay or come here.
