WHAT THE HEAD COACH SAID
Speaking ahead of the game, Collins has suggested that the biggest test is to come for his players, with Stellenbosch receiving high praise from the head coach.
“It will be our toughest game,” Collins said. “They came to the UK last year and didn’t lose a game in that tournament and they’ve came to this tournament and not lost a game.
“This will be a step up and if we do end up winning the final, we’ll have earnt it.
“We’ve worked really hard and we’ll have to match them physically because they’re an athletic and powerful team, very skilful and good on the eye, but hopefully we’re up to the task.”
