00:19We showed a lot of quality in front of 80,000 people.

00:25It was important to have them on board with us and to have that support.

00:30We had a very good performance against a young team with less experience.

00:36It's going to be an important match for them in terms of the progress they're supposed to make in the weeks and months to come.
