There's no magic solution for us, we just don't have the resources at the moment. The guys we've got here are the best front-rowers in Australia at the moment.

There's nothing he did wrong. No blame is pointed at him whatsoever.

Of course we'll win. They're so scared of George they'll do anything to win.

We've said to all the guys they are not there to just develop on tour, they are there to get in the test 22,

If you remember back in 2000, Sam had an outstanding season with Queensland and was really pressuring George for the Wallabies spot.

George is his own character. He is not a warm and fuzzy character in front of the media. He is certainly different in front of the Australian team. He is one of the funniest, most gregarious guys that you will meet. His persona in front of the media is slightly different.

Pau has been doing it for us all season and he did it again. He saved us.

I need to play and I need to rest. I don't know how I'll do it.

I tell them the same things I told them before, bring a championship to Miami.
Eddie Charles Jones

What we need is competition for places. We are certainly trying to engender that. When we name the final squad you could find that yes there might be a few established players left out of the squad. We'll find that out over the next two or three weeks.

We got happy just taking the threes. After a tough game (a 95-89 loss at Detroit on Friday), you may not have the leg strength. That was key. We were trying to penetrate and kick. The shots didn't go down. Just don't blame it on shooting. You can never blame a loss on shooting. It's what you do defensively.

As a team the increased fuel costs, naturally, affect your budget. Figure this: the transporter that we run gets about 6 1/2 to 7 miles per gallon at best, 4 1/2 at worst. Obviously, the increased fuel cost makes a considerable difference, especially with all of these trips we're making to the West Coast now.

You've got to give him credit. Ray is clutch.

Shaquille O'Neal, probably the best player on the planet. When you acquire someone of that magnitude, people are going to come. He's larger than life.
Eddie Charles Jones

I told the guys that something good would come of this. We worked our butts off.
Eddie Charles Jones

I knew if we could somehow take him away from his game or make it tough for him to score, our chances of winning the game were high.

They are similar sorts of players. The three of them are extremely talented.

The good news is that it's not something too serious and with some rest and a break from the game, he should be right to start the Super 14 season.

I saw that we were sort of struggling to get points. We'd let (Minnesota) get the game manageable. When I came in the game, the opportunity presented itself so I took advantage of it. I was just being aggressive because I had legs.

We've selected eight players who are uncapped at test level and a further eight with less than ten caps to their name.

Great 'D. Better shot. That's the only thing I can say about it. (He) made a heck of a shot. Got to take your hat off to that.
Eddie Charles Jones
-
He mightn't think it but a lot of people would like to see him involved.
Eddie Charles Jones
-
I felt good going to the line. I shot them all the same. I should iced the game. This one's on me.
Eddie Charles Jones

I just continued to trail Matt Carroll. He's a very good shooter. I just happened to get my hand on the ball.
