00:00I was really happy with our first half and I think they tried just before
00:03halftime. It was a pretty tough blow to take. If we could have gone
00:08into the changing rooms at 13-12 it would have just, I think, given us a
00:12little bit more impetus going into that second half. I thought that first 25
00:16minutes of the second half they really dominated possession and territory and
00:20we had to work really hard to keep them out. Obviously that didn't happen all the
00:25time but we missed a few chances in that first half. Jake almost picks it up, puts
00:28it down. It would have been great to get that one or Fraser McWright being held up
00:31over the line in the left-hand corner. Either of those two would have just, I think,
00:35given us a little bit more confidence. They started pretty well, didn't they, the
00:38Aussies? So you've got to give it to them and play some good footy, man. Some opportunities
00:41got into our 22 and we defended. I think it was three minutes in that first
00:44half, just in our own 22. Our goal line defence was test standard. Look, I'm really
00:49pleased in a lot of aspects. We've had a great three or four weeks of training but
00:53just to actually put it on the field is important for all of us and really
00:57pleasing but we've got a lot more in us.
