"I thought Emile was brilliant and it was the type of game for that sort of player to do well in," he said.

"I got bogged down a bit in those conditions. It was hard to use your speed. It took a lot of energy out of me and I was not as effective as I would have liked.

"But for Emile it was great but that was always going to be his type of game, a physical type of contest and he showed his power and strength and just how good he can be."
