quotes from rwc 2007
"This tournament is all about whether you front up or go home, it's about mental toughness, so it means a lot to the boys and we have it in us." -Tonga's skipper Nili Latu
"If we're going to go out there and go easy, it doesn't fit with our game plan. Our game is to be physical. It would be hard if you only played 50/50, you can get hurt. I didn't come all this way to play 50/50. I came here to go hard in every game because you don't know whether it's your last game in case of injury or loss of form, or even suspension." - All Blacks' captain Jerry Collins
"Also, with the lineouts, we lost balls we should have caught. It ruined our game plan." Georgia's experienced flanker Grigol Labadze said that for Georgia to stay in the match for the full 80 minutes,they need to know how to spend their strength. "If you don't know, you can lose it in 15 minutes," he said." That knowledge in the most important thing for us to work on."
" There's no taking it easy where I come from. Do that in the front row and you get pushed around, and you're not going to get a chance for the week after. There's no holding back, really. If we want to achieve what we've set out to do, then we've got to commit ourselves fully." -All Blacks' prop Greg Somerville
Italy's Alessandro Troncon, set to become only the eighth player in international rugby union history to win 100 caps, said it was not the winning of matches that had been the greatest joy of his career. "What I really love about rugby, what will remain forever with me, is that thing of creating strong bonds on the pitch that will eventually continue off it for the rest of my life."
