Notes
Quotes from Director of Rugby, Jake White.

“We are going to have to defend, I don’t think they will kick as much as the Crusaders did, they’ll definitely try run it back and they’ve got some dangerous outside backs, but, in saying that, we need to make sure that the rest of our game is good enough as well, we can’t rely on defence only.

“There has been a lot of criticism about our lack of tries. To put it in perspective, the Crusaders had scored nearly 100 points in the two matches before we met, and they scored just one try against us. But, the positives are that we scored three tries and there is a massive vibe in the team now and we need to take that forward into the next couple of weeks.”
