Quote from Crusaders coach Ifereimi Tawake:

“We were not dominating in the first half, so at the break I stressed to the boys to stick to the game plan, which was to play structured rugby, stay solid in defence and get the game to their 22. They did just as I asked, and we came out winners. The young players performed well today, especially Tom Jani who used to play rugby league for the Broncos. I asked him to try rugby union and I’m very pleased with the way he stepped up.”

Quote from Highlanders coach Etuate Waqa:

“The boys lost concentration in the second half, especially in defence. We lacked communication. We need to work on our rucking – we gave away too many penalties in that area. Koresi Ledua and Samuela Bola, however, did well and beat the Crusaders forwards to the breakdowns for much of the time.”
