The best of the quotes from players and coaches on Day Two of Rugby World Cup Sevens 2009 ...
"He is an old man and it is great to have him here. He is a cheerful man and an experienced player and he is a star. The main player at the moment, though, is Lolo Lui. He has performed great all the way through and he is our best playmaker."
- Samoa captain Ofisa Treviranus on the return of Uale Mai.
"If he had not done it, (it might have been) 24-all. It's not show-boating. If you score under the post you score under the posts and that is what we aim to do every time."
-England captain Ben Gollings on team-mate Tom Varndell gifting him a try.
"All of them did understand me - it was a violent talk. We were asleep for the first half, we missed a lot of opportunites and created absolutely nothing. We made it very easy for Hong Kong."
- Tunisia coach Danie De Villiers on his 'pep' talk that inspired his team to turn a 14-0 half-time deficit into a 17-14 victory.
"Yesterday was a little bit baffling as we didn't front up and a lot of us looked like lost little boys, so today we knew we had to come out. You don't get to play at a World Cup very often, if ever, so we knew we had to improve and be switched on from the start."
- Scotland player Colin Gregor on the improvements they made after Thursday's defeat by Canada.
"I believe we are one step better than the team of 2005 and I think we can go and win it again. We have to."
- Vilimoni Delasau on comparisons to the title-winning 2005 team.
"We are proud to be in the Cup quarter final but we want to go further and we think we can. Whoever we end up playing we look forward to beating them.
-Samoa captain Ofisa Treviranus on making it through to the Cup quarter finals.
"You have just got to get control of the ball and then keep it. It can be like a game of tennis, with the ball going back and forth, but we are just delighted that we kept our composure and sealed the win."
- Ireland try scorer Gary Brown on how they achieved their victory over Australia.
“England and South Africa are easily the favourites and I think Samoa and Fiji are also the ones doing well undercover and no one has noticed them fully yet, so we come into the quarters as underdogs. We are behind on the leaderboard so we will try our best and see what happens.”
- New Zealand Captain DJ Forbes on who might spoil the New Zealanders' dreams of Melrose Cup glory.
"We are very confident of winning the tournament. We know we have a good team and it's all about working for each other and winning as a team."
- England hero Isoa Damu on whether they beleive they can grab the glory on Saturday.
"Argentina are a pretty good team that can fight against anybody. Others might be better than us but we have something special that makes us give a little bit more in important games. We are going to be ready tomorrow for whoever we play against."
- Argentina coach Duncan Forrester fears nobody going into the Cup quarter finals.
