“It’s really hard to be captain and serve that up. It’s embarrassing. We have a lot to work on,” a dejected Tedesco mentioned after the sport.
“Definitely not used to it. We pride ourselves on working hard for each other but the last two weeks, it just hasn’t been there.
“We aren’t resilient enough. As soon as they score a couple of tries, we just drop our heads and then it gets worse and worse. It’s pretty hard to swallow that.
“We are doing all the right things but out performances aren’t up to scratch.
“We have to have a look at ourselves individually, but we have to keep it internal. Only our team can solve it so we have to stay positive and think we’re a chance.”
