“We’ve prepared well and adjusted to the cooler temperatures but we are under no illusion that playing the English at home will be a tough assignment. They will be wanting a win in front of their fans.
“I believe we have the right mix of experience and newer players in the Black Ferns and everyone is really motivated to play and put out a good performance,” he said.
