Coach's reflections mirrored the captain's sentiment. Central to their remarks was the famous Aggie quote,
"I've seen 'em win, I've seen 'em lose, but I've never seen 'em quit,"
highlighting the team's perseverance. Despite the overwhelming score, Aggie Rugby's commitment in the face of adversity was evident as they refused to give up, rallying together to achieve a hard-earned try in the latter half of the play.
