Waterson praises "boot of God"
Leicester
October 11, 1999

Tongan coach Dave Waterston believed his side had lost their chance of victory over Italy at Welford Road on Sunday night before Sateki Tu'ipulotu launched his amazing drop goal.
"We thought the game had slipped away. The drop goal came as a bolt out of the blue." Said the happy Waterston on Monday.
"If it was the hand of God that helped Maradona, then the boot of God must have had some part in our Sunday
feat. Of course we had practised some drop kicking during our training camp in South Africa but I had almost forgotten about it".
However the coach has now got to bring his side down to earth before their visit to Twickenham to meet England on Friday. "We suffered a dip in form after the high of the New Zealand match," he said "Now we are ready for another build up."
