Boston’s coach Mike Diamantopoulos complemented the efforts of his forwards, noting “we worked hard on our scrums recently, as Old Blue gave us many problems the last time we played, but we provided a good platform for our backs today. The backs are playing very well also, with Niko excellent and Atoa Ripley also very good today”.
Old Blue’s Stephen Lewis added “credit is due to Boston, they are our long time rivals and it was a good win for them. We are very disappointed, we had the wind and we were in a good position at half time. Our first up tacking was a cause for concern and it got worse in the second half and we started chasing the game. Overall it was a disappointing day at the office, but it is a long season and it is not the end of the world”.
