"I'm really annoyed about how many games we've had to play leading into this game. It's been really, I think, unfair. We're getting punished for players getting picked for Scotland and for getting to the semi-final."
"The game on Tuesday could have been moved a couple of weeks down the line before the end of the season. So we've had to go Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday into this game."
"People might have been complaining about the integrity of our team selection on Tuesday. Well, it's not our fault. Our hands were forced into that and we got the result anyway."
