ANDY RALEIGH was named the man-of-the-match, and I couldn’t be happier for him.

I thought he was outstanding against the Bulls and played a vital role for us.

I look at Andy as something of a quiet achiever in the side.

He’s a player who is always trying to improve and will do whatever it takes to make that improvement.

And you know that whether he’s playing prop, second-row or loose-forward he’ll always give you 100%.

But I also believe I need to single out Paul Whatuira for praise.

In every game he shows his class and proves why he has played so many Tests for New Zealand.

And it was a moment of sheer class from Fatz that helped us score that late try and set us on the road to such a brilliant win.
