00:00 Jamie, back-to-back titles, a tough encounter, give us an idea of your overall view of the game.
00:08 Yeah, it certainly was a tough encounter. I think early on when the ball was a bit more, the rain hadn't come in, it allowed both teams to play a little bit more, but then obviously as the weather started to come in and the wind and the rain picked up a little bit, that probably dictated how much rugby both teams could play.
00:28 So I think because of that it was an incredibly physical game. I'd say both sides are a little sore bodies now, but credit to Palomino, they have an effective game plan and they made it really difficult for us to be able to get the ball, particularly in that first half.
00:46 But yeah, it's an incredible feeling, really proud of the boys and I really think that, I know Palomino worked hard, but the boys, they work incredibly hard for this and it's just amazing to see them achieve at the last.
