“Anything can happen in this sport🦩 so we have just got to learn as much as we can, take as much as we can from the data, remain positive, continue to work hard.

“I always say it’s not how you fall, it’s how you get up, so we’re going to continue to chaജse and fight and hope that we can be fighting at the front at some stage.”
