00:00 You're going to Manifield, tell me how that feels, what a performance.
00:05 Oh man, I think, it's quite hard to put it into words at the moment, the boys have put
00:09 in a pretty serious shift and yeah we looked pretty much down and out at half time but
00:14 I think the boys managed to pull a few strings and managed to get over the line to sort it
00:19 out.
00:20 What do you say at half time, I mean really to try and bring things round?
00:22 I think we just trust the process, we train really well, we've worked really hard and
00:27 you know we just trust the process and the outcome takes care of itself whether that's
00:30 60 minutes, 70 minutes or 80 minutes, you know it's one of these things.
00:34 It's been really a common theme in this run in the National Shield of playing right to
00:39 the very very last whistle and obviously Rory kicking that kick at the end, you know you're
00:43 doing it so often now, the mentality of the team has been just incredible.
00:47 Yeah I think it just shows how strong it is up here, I think the standard's been brilliant,
00:51 the boys are really enjoying these tough games and it's why we play rugby, every now and
00:55 then it's nice to put a big result on but these type games, it's why we train, it's
00:59 why we play so yeah, buzzing.
01:01 And you're doing so well in the play-offs as well, it just could be one of the most
01:04 memorable seasons in the club's history.
01:06 Yeah it could be, we've got a couple of games left and get that over the line and hopefully
01:10 get National 4 which would be awesome, probably first time for the club's history so yeah
01:15 it's brilliant eh?
01:16 Have you ever played at Murrayfield before?
01:17 Not me no, so yeah I don't think any of us have, I don't think Murray have full stop
01:20 so yeah buzzing.
01:22 What will that mean to the guys and what will it mean to your families and everything to
01:25 be playing at a stage like that?
01:27 You know what I think the boys deserve it, two seasons ago we were struggling at bottom
01:32 of the North 2 and the same group of boys, we've worked hard and pulled together and
01:36 we've really made something special out of this group so yeah, buzzing to see what happens.
01:40 The crowds are getting bigger and bigger coming down here to Morriston as well, a big roar
01:43 every single try there today.
01:44 Oh man yeah, honestly it makes such a big difference, I think it just shows how strong
01:48 rugby is in the area now, there's been a bit of hard work but I think we're finally starting
01:51 starting to see the fruits of our labour. It's awesome.
01:54 Enjoy your celebration.
