Tana Umaga Quotations

We all love to be playing rugby and to get a good lead-up to the grand slam you need to be playing good football,

We lost that one in Cape Town and that's in the back of everyone's mind, and being at home we want to do well,

It's something we have been working on for a long time and we felt that we wanted to do it at home. But . . . we still had to perform.

The surprise aspect Clive was trying to work on didn't exactly work as it was meant to,

No one backs them this week and that's a very dangerous thing for us. We're the only ones that give them any credit really.

He was instrumental in building the All Blacks tradition. We're pleased for the chance to pay our respects

We were very happy at the end of the first half and decided to give up by the look of it,

We were lucky to hold them out and get what we got but we're happy with it. We created a lot of things again and again they lived off our mistakes. It's the way they've been playing and it's obviously successful for them.

If I carried all that sort of stuff on my shoulders going into a game, I wouldn't be able to get out there,

We'll take the win for sure, but there were times out there when we lacked composure.
