Sean Maitland : ” I’m very proud to be selected, this is a very happy day for me and my family and it’s one I’ll cherish forever. We’ve (Quade Cooper and Sean) been battling against each other since the age of five when he beat me in a long distance race in New Zealand! The last few battles we’ve had he has had the wood over me, but hopefully I can get one back now. “
Stuart Hogg : ” It feels amazing, it’s not really sunk in and I’m lost for words. It’s an absolute dream come true to be selected. All I’ve ever wished for is to play rugby at the highest level and now I’ve got the chance to do that which is unbelievable. “
