Martin Mendaro on the charge against Georgia

URU 24 v GEO 12: What they said

28/10/2003

 

Diego Ormaechea (URU) – Coach

On whether he is proud of his team:

"The guys are the ones who should be proud, not me. We needed to keep the ball in Georgia's half of the field ... We wanted good defence and a good scrum."

Diego Aguirre (URU) – Captain

On the match:

"We are very happy. We worked hard all week for this match. I thought we played very good. We were very confident in our team.

"It was a very physical match. We were prepared for this."

Claude Saurel (GEO) – Coach

On his feelings after the team's loss:

"Today I am proud of the way they played, having reached a level of competency as a team [during this World Cup].  But the Uruguayan performance was too good."

Ilia Zedginidze (GEO) – Captain

On the match:

"I'm very disappointed about the result. We wanted to win the game, but I think after the game against South Africa we didn't recuperate enough. Uruguay played very well."

On the crowd support for the Georgian team:

"It was a surprise for us from the first day to get that support. I'm really thankful."
