What they said

Head Coach Bryan Easson said: “We’re looking at this game as a huge opportunity to put a mark on this World Cup.

“We made it very clear at the start we were coming here to compete. We’re into the latter stages, and I believe the performances have shown the progress we are making.

“It’s going to be a very difficult test, but one that we are very well prepared for.”
