Following the win, Longmuir opened up about the Serong's performance and said (as quoted by theqldr.com):

He continued:

"He trusts himself because of all the work he’s done, and I’m just really proud of him as a person. You see him go to work every day and the example he sets for his teammates as a young player and young leader is great," he added.
