Scott on the initial takeaways from Sunday night

I thought the score blew out late, but it wasn't reflective of the way that most of the game was played.

Having said that, we started well but we just didn't take our shots and they were obviously very efficient.

I struggled to tell in terms of the spectacle because we watch the game differently, but it seemed to me to be a pretty high standard game.

There was no suggestion from our end that we weren't up for the fight, we just thought they opposition were pretty good. 

Scott on the strong final quarter

I wasn't that confident, but what we are confident in is the way we finish games.

You can't rely on that, there will come a point where if you keep talking about how good you are without doing it, it doesn't make it so anymore. At three quarter time the game was right on the line, I thought that we finished off the game well.

I have probably said it a few times but our side is different to the one we had four or five years ago, we tend to move with the shifts in our personnel in terms of the way we play.

One of the things that is pretty strong at the moment is our ability to close out games. 

Scott on the even spread of contributions

I think every team at this point of the year has had patches where they have had to deal with some injuries to their better players.

We have been working away for a long time at trying to develop a squad that can still play well without Tom Stewart, without Paddy Dangerfield.

I am not saying we are there yet, but I don't think we are coming away from games thinking we are no good unless those guys are in the team.

Paddy will come back in next week and I am sure he will help us. 

Scott on Rhys Stanley's performance

We were really pleased with Rhys.

It is unfair to put them together, but there are some similarities between Mitch Duncan and Rhys Stanley.

We were quite open and transparent with them that early in the year, we were going to prioritise younger players. But they have played their way into the team and have become really important for us at the moment.

Every team at this stage of the year are trying to develop some depth in their squad, we have thought for a long time that the old guys have a role to play. They played their way into the team and are pretty valuable for us.
