“We said that we can't repeat what has happened in the past – that has gone now – but we can control very much what can happen in the future,” Hogg told ITV. “We said that we believe in each other from the very beginning and to a man we were outstanding.
“We got excited during the week and knew we could come down here and put in a performance and if we got everything right we would give ourselves every opportunity of winning.
"We stood firm defensively and that was the win in the game. We looked after the ball and went through multi-phase and caused them problems and that's what we're about.”
Wales are up next but the captain said: “We won't get too far ahead of ourselves but we will enjoy this one, I can assure you, but then it's on to Wales next week.”
