    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) John McKee, Fiji Head Coach

    "It was a great Test match in the terms of the intensity and contest in all aspects of the game and congratulations to Wales for coming out on top, I am extremely proud of our team, and the effort and the hard work that went into the game and today was so close, although its frustrating I can't fault our team for the work they put into the game and the effort they put in the game."
    Warren Gatland, Wales Coach walks into presser

    4. 00.47 SOUNDBITE: (English) Warren Gatland, Wales Head Coach

    "It was a tough game, we were pretty tired and we had a short turn around and played pretty well and dominated in the first half, if we had scored at half time maybe the game would have opened up a bit more, there were a couple of other opportunities that we created but we didn't get a lot of success from putting the ball in the air, they were pretty dominant in that area, but to me it was about winning the game, and the courage we displayed was the most important thing for me, we had to dig deep like we did last week and that just shows the character of this group of players at the moment."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Warburton, Wales

    "That was one of the toughest Test matches I have played in, the first half I was worried that the gaffer was going to take me off as I was running around too slowly as I was exhausted, the players talked about that after the game, we didn't want any negative talk in the group and everybody found it tough, and we found out in that match that the bonus point was extremely tough to get, and it was disrespectful towards Fiji to talk about it because with a short turn around it was one of the toughest matches we have played in, the celebrations after the England win we were bouncing, this week a totally different feeling because the boys are shattered."
