single day we appreciate you and and everyone you know driving down the bus today there were so many different people from different walks of life homeless people seeing us jumping up and down you know people who can be here today so we say thank you and we represent everyone we appreciate you and please don't stop when the things are tough please carry on supporting us we can't do it without you let's talk about those tough times and the tough times of that start was difficult to get a yellow card what was said by the leadership group just to bring it together and keep on working first I want to say we we knew you know and we respect the O you know no matter what people can say about them what season they in when it's time to turn up they turn up and to coach um to coach Razer um will down him and his team and we knew it was going to be hard and you know we those scenarios we work at at training obviously you don't want that and we knew they could have a f start but we obviously believe in ourselves and we didn't panic and we just went on and did what we wanted to do the second half the talk at halftime what was the key thing for you guys to get the performance you wanted in the second half not to panic make sure we exit that we catching us on the exit we couldn't exit well and we got that right but they got the first try you know in the second half but after that we picked ourselves up the main thing about this game is just don't give up we've been here before we've been in in behind we've been in front so we can draw from those experiences but I'm really proud of the boys but the job is not done you know we still got a lot to do and I want to say it's 30 years of Freedom you know and I want I say congratulations to South Africans but we still know there are many people who are still not free hopefully the next celebration celebrate is a women who are free from gender based violence so yeah they's celebrate 30 years but there's so many people who still went free yet thank you thank you so much Scotty just your reflections of that test uh yeah I think um what onto the spring box certainly showed the class team that they are uh we weren't quite good enough and um you know we're good for 62 minutes and uh that's it's a 80-minute game what would you say was a difference in that 60th minutes when uh was it was it anything to do with the changes I think uh your two key moments after kick offs we couldn't quite get out of our half there um and they punished us repeated I guess uh you know infringements down there and we found ourselves a man down and um eventually they they got over so um huge effort certainly proud of the boys but um yeah not quite tonight what are those proud efforts that you're proud about and uh what can you take to Cave Town yeah I think we'll regroup pretty quickly um you know there's some guys have uh played up here for the first time in a a serious Arena so that's a huge privilege and um you know it's it's intense and uh we have to be better next week thank you so much Scot best of luck for next week cheers thank you
