Alessandro Troncon (ITA) - Captain
On winning the game:
"It was a difficult match ... important to win to continue World Cup, so I'm very happy."
"Last time we lost at World Cup 1999 so this time is our time. We won a very difficult match because for each team it was important to win."
"So I am very happy, but now we wait for Canada."
On whether it was a rough game:
"Yes, but it's a World Cup game."
On the decisive moment of the match:
"Today we played with a lot of discipline. We took the points and scored the try when we had to score. And we had a good defence."
John Kirwan (ITA) - Coach
On the game:
"I think defensively we were very sound ... there's a few things we have to tidy up before our next game."
On team spirit:
"It is important we enjoy our win, for us rugby is a celebration."
On the game against Canada:
"Canada play a hard and disciplined style. It's a terrible cliche but we're just going to take it one game at a time."
Rima Wakarua (ITA) - Flyhalf
On being selected for the Italian World Cup squad:
"It was very surprising, one month ago I was just watching a game on TV. I was at the first World Cup final in 1987 and now I'm in Canberra playing a World Cup."
Jim Love (TGA) - Coach
On Tonga's loss to Italy:
"It's terribly sad that we lost."
On the competition:
"We definitely talked about this being a must-win game, but we can still make it if we beat Wales and get a bonus point, if Wales beat Italy and if we can knock over the All Blacks."
On Tonga's chances of making the Quarter Finals:
"We've still got opportunities and chances, we'll regroup, we're a slim chance but always a chance."
On how Italy played:
"They played very well. I didn't bank on Italy coming out with a big kicking game the way they did."
On the upcoming match against Wales:
"It's a priority for us, it's going to be full steam ahead. We don't have a lot of time especially with the injuries - it will be hard on us."
On his team's performance against Italy:
"The players played to their own game plans which in the heat of the moment wasn't good."
Gus Leger (TGA) - Centre
On losing the match against Italy:
"The boys gave it their all ... put their bodies on the line and really did themselves proud, regardless of the result."
What's next for the team:
"We'll move onto Wales next Sunday ... we'll regather, regroup, refocus and go again."
