Good evening, everyone. As Tonga's owner, I'd just like to take this time to thank Christchurch for a game well-played, and congratulate them on their victory. Our loss today was the first one we've ever had in our home stadium, so that's something of note, I suppose.
The Knightmares came right out and hit us in the mouth, early and often. They sent us back to the locker room down 23-9, and we just couldn't fully recover. When we made the game close again by the start of the 4th quarter, Christchurch pounded it right down our throats. That's probably the blow that sucked the life out of us, if I had to pinpoint it exactly.
Again, very well played, Christchurch. If any team doesn't bring their A-game against you all this year, they're going to pay for it dearly. We sure didn't today, and you all laid it to us. Best of luck moving forward, and I hope we can see you all again in the "second season"...
