All Blacks captain Tana Umaga:
This isn't a look of relief on my face, it's a look of pride,"
"I'm really proud of the way my guys stepped up and came back under all that
pressure.
"We were really flat to start with and we got a hard talking to at half-time,
and it was great that we came out and came back."


Springbok captain John Smit:
"I think the biggest disappointment for us is that we didn't lift ourselves
in this game as much as we have in our other games this season,"
"We've lifted ourselves to a new level in each game we've played so far, but
this is the first game in which we haven't improved."


All Blacks caoch Herry:
"Everybody would agree that was a game we could well have lost, but I'm proud
of the commitment to go right to the end," he said.
"Rome wasn't built in a day. We are trying to introduce new ideas and we
haven't perfected them yet.
"I feel there are too many rugby teams who change for change's sake rather
than perfect the areas they are working on.
"We are working on perfection."
