“For now, the process of selection is behind us and we need to go forward and I am grateful for all the support we have received so far. After seven losses in a row, we can't be the favourites in this year's Cup, but we will certainly give it everything that we’ve got. So, to Shane, Dennis, Billy, Oscar and Sky... let's go! It’s time to get into fight mode and prepare on this quest. Luctor et emergo!”
