“We’ve been training with that. We’ll be prepared. They’ll obviously do a bit of work around trying to stop driving mauls which I would expect. We’ve done other work around that area as well,” he said.

The Black Ferns had been rusty in their efforts to play expansively and they were looking at polishing that aspect of their game under pressure at training.

“I’m confident by game day that we’ll have a bit more accuracy but you also can’t under-estimate the heat that the Australian team brought to the game, we thought that would happen and we had to make adjustments,” he said.

The brand of rugby the Black Ferns were trying to play was exciting and they had feedback that people were enjoying that and he hoped people would get to Eden Park and enjoy it on Saturday.

There was excitement in getting to play at home, there was interest in the side and how women’s rugby had evolved in the last 12 months, he said.
