Quotes from FMF Flying Fijian coach Ilivasi Tabua:
“I thought this was a very good game and the Sharks played some exciting rugby. Their backline made some good breaks but simple passes errors denied them tries. The Knights forwards played well in the wet weather and both teams showed solid defence.”
“The Sharks No.8, Timoci Vakadranu, had a good with a good vision. And I thought Saiasi Fuli did very well, commanding well and his general play was outstanding.”
“The Knights improved from last weekend. They showed more effort and worked well as a team. A team pattern too was displayed today.”
“The Sharks had so many opportunities. Every time Gabriel (Lovobalavu) and Isoa (rokobici) took the ball, they were dangerous. Overall, passing and work at the breakdown needs improving with both teams.”
“The set pieces were okay, but both teams need to look at the accuracy in their line-out throwing.”
