Coach Vern Cotter said, "There are no easy games from now on. Cotter said apart from a couple of occasions, the Blues managed the win because they stuck to what they knew they could do. He enjoyed the game most because it clearly showed the Blues what they needed to do to execute their game plan correctly. Under the late Hurricanes assault on the Blues' line, Tuipulotu said there was little need to remind the players what was required. Cotter said first five-eighths Harry Plummer's role in decision-making and kicking goals had been vital.
