00:05Right now, I'm so proud, it's a bit after the final whistle.
00:12You know, during that first 20-30 minutes, I had to snap myself out of what I was thinking,
00:22because it was just tremendous.
00:26Being a sporer, seeing the rugby that the players were playing, I had to realize I was a coach again.
00:34I snapped at it quite quickly, but obviously the second half, how we were getting penalized at times,
00:43but we kept together, how we defended our line, and then how we regained control.
00:50That makes me equally as proud as how we started the game.
00:53And it's a little while now after the final whistle, and we've had a good time together in the change
00:59room.
01:00So, isn't the emotions that made you realize that coaching and still being involved in the game is hugely rewarding?
01:09Yeah, I'm bitterly disappointed and a huge credit to the Scotland team, who I thought played really well today.
01:14And they certainly got an advantage in those loose balls that came off that aerial contest.
01:22And from those loose balls, they attacked real well.
01:25And clearly playing such a huge part of the game without a winger against the team that was moving the
01:31ball to that edge so much,
01:33that hurt us and ultimately gave us too much to do in the second half.
01:38So, let's take a look at it.
