“I think they are very good and we have to be very good as well at the weekend to win the game. But I love to look at my own team and I love to look at what we can bring to the table, and we have a lot to do as well and we can make it very difficult for them too.
“I have got massive respect for them. But I want to win the game and we will do everything in our power and my power to do so.”
