"It feels very nice since we don’t get the support we get here anywhere else. The crowd always wants us to win and it’s nice to get a win for them. They’ve been waiting two years to watch us play and this win is for them.

That said, I am proud to be the record holder for the most number of Super 10s scored. Additionally, the fact that it ensured a win is an even greater feeling,"
