I was really happy to be given the opportunity of playing Premiership rugby for the Falcons in the first place, but to be given an extension to my contract a year before it ran out was a massive boost.

When you can play in front of 3,000 fans, it's an opportunity to pull out some of the earlier and more esoteric songs.

That's one of the best defenses we've played against all season. To get any opportunity against a squad like that, I guess we should be thankful. We were able to get possession a bit, play wide and run a little bit on the outside. But I'm just thankful to get any shots against that defense. Those guys were awesome. Solid, solid, solid.

It's a great opportunity. It's really exciting but at the same time, it's a little overwhelming. But I've coached under some good guys and played under some good coaches so hopefully this will be my opportunity to give back to the kids.

We've leaned heavily on Quinton throughout the season. Now he's got a great opportunity to play in front of his family and friends and I look forward to watching him play a great football game. I expect to get Quinton's best every week. But there's more added incentives for him. I look forward to it.

It was an opportunity to see the young guys perform. But I wasn't very happy with the performance. It wasn't very good.
