Graham Roxburgh – TWU Head Coach
"I thought there were some positives from our last game of the spring season. It was unlucky giving away a late penalty late in the game – which was our own doing. A lot of younger members of the team got good minutes tonight, and some of them showed how much they've progressed tonight. It was a learning experience, so our naivety didn't give us the best chances in the end. We were punished for that."
