Video: 'That's what hurts the most, we let down our country' - Shaun Johnson on Kiwis early RLWC exit

November 18, 2017

The Kiwis half was in shock after his side were unable to overcome Fiji in Wellington.

Devastated Kiwis star half Shaun Johnson couldn't pinpoint exactly where his side went wrong and said letting down the nation was what hurt the most after losing to Fiji 4-2 in their Rugby League World Cup quarter-final in Wellington tonight.

Johnson admitted the hurt of being kicked out of the RLWC was crushing.

We couldn't deliver what I thought we could deliver

"I guess the most disappointing thing for me is everyone who doubted us – the fans, media, you got your way," said Johnson.

Adam Blair tried his best to keep his composure during a post-match interview after his side’s 4-2 loss in Wellington.

"We couldn't deliver what I thought we could deliver and that's what burns.

"That's what hurts the most that we let down our country."
