Quotes from Forwards Coach, Brad Macleod-Henderson:

“They have a quality experienced pack which has been finding a lot of good ball, and some electrifying backs out wide. But we’re worrying about them as a team rather than individuals at the moment. We need to make sure physically we will be up for it – and I’m sure we will be.”

Quote from Backline Coach, Sean Everitt:

“We haven’t spoken about records or looked back at the past, we’re certainly looking forward to the game on Saturday and we’ve gone about our preparation as we would for any game we’d play in the pool stages. Everyone knows within themselves that it is a massive game on Saturday.”
