This "hack it forward at all costs" idea, which seemed to increase as the game wore on, is not a platform for future success. We won't be troubling too many teams with that.
I see it completely the other way around. For so long our guys have wanted it to be soft and pretty and our outside precision would win the game. The other teams put a bit of pressure on us and our skills drop off and we get beaten.
This win felt different. We just wanted it more than the opposition got there in the end.
If we'd been cleaner by foot we would have won by more but under the high pressure of that game that was unlikely to happen.
