Obviously not the outcome that we were working towards and aim to achieve but it is now history, learned from it and must move on to the next assignment. Coach Stephen Betham reminded the team straight after the final whistle that the work for the next game starts now..we do not need to look elsewhere for answers for todays outcome, it will have to come from within this group, you as players and us as management. It is how we will react to it that matters the most now We traveled to Clermont France this afternoon in preparation for our second match against the French Babarians this coming Saturday, and have just settled in at our hotel. Both Tusiata Pisi and Brando Vaaulu are recovering well from yesterdays collision, and are under treatment and assessment by the medical team. We are awaiting full medical reports if they will continue on for the rest of the tour. Logovii Mulipola is ruled out of the tour due to his injury from yesterdays match and will be replaced by Benjamin Sa. Daniel Leo medical scans and further assessments also confirmed that he is out for the rest of the tour, thus brings the total injury toll to six (6) players in total since we named the team. The message in the camp now is to regroup and refocus on the next two games as they will be just as hard as yesterdays match. Our best regards to you all and again thank you for the tremendous support through messages accorded to the team before and after the game.
