00:00 Johnny, as far as performances go, that'll not get much better. Very impressive.
00:03 Very, very impressive. No, really happy with that. We felt probably over the last couple
00:08 of weeks that performance was in us. You know what, probably the weather dried up, pitch
00:13 was good, conditions were good. Maybe you look at it, last few weeks it's just Winter
00:18 Orlean. Conditions have been awful, but we really did, we thought that performance was
00:23 in it. We talked about it all week and there it was, it was there for us today.
00:27 Trone missing a few men, but you know, he's a gun in his favour, but you still have to
00:31 make that count and the start was blistering. Aye, look, as I say, done a lot of work this
00:36 week on starting well. We don't really bother ourselves too much with who the other team,
00:41 you know, we look at their team, we deal with whoever we have to deal with, but who they're
00:45 missing and who they're not, it doesn't really come into it for us.
00:47 Big, moving Rory inside as a target man, that seemed to work very well for you.
00:54 Went very well today, you know, just something that just felt, give him a wee change of scenery
00:59 in there, you know, maybe we weren't wanting enough clean ball for ourselves.
01:01 See, every ball went in, I think he either got it or we got something off it, you know,
01:07 no, I thought he was very, very good. Nice to have that option in the squad,
01:10 that's just showing now that he's at a level where you can move boys about.
01:12 Aye, well that's it, you know, look, I thought our forwards were brilliant, all of them,
01:16 you know, felt two weeks ago out here in the league final, or three weeks ago,
01:20 thought we didn't work hard enough, you know, not that they're good players, just didn't feel
01:25 we worked hard enough and the last two games either worked great or it's been through the roof,
01:28 I thought our six forwards were immense today. And two wins from two, but now a big one next week.
01:33 The acid test, you know, kill their favourite, so that's fair enough, no problem, we're going
01:39 to go there, all guns blazing next week and if they're going to win, they'll have to beat us.
