Portuguese: "Before I kicked the ball, I thought about my family, the energy and the inner peace they give me so I can focus and kick the ball.
"After I kicked the ball, the only thing I could do was to kneel down and express my gratitude.
"We are currently ranked 42nd and they are number 16. With this victory, we climb four places in the World Rugby ranking and the only thing going through my mind was an immense feeling of joy and pleasure. We knew we would do well in this tournament.
"We know we are the start of the year, but we will continue to work hard, setting long-term goals to keep improving ourselves. Brazil will continue to grow and bring different things to the world of rugby.
"First I am going out there to celebrate with these warriors and then rest and recuperate because next week we have a new match. Today, we are going to enjoy ourselves, we will drink a lot of water, perhaps a couple of beers [laughs]. On Sunday, I'm spending time with my family, and my girlfriend, because they are responsible for giving energy to these warriors [Brazilian team]. We will celebrate today and tomorrow and then start preparing for next week's match, the South-American rugby tournament next year. We want more."
