Up to this point, our coaches have given us all the ingredients to make the perfect dish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know our set piece is working well and it showed last weekend, we have good commitment when under pressure and we do play with guts, but something was still amiss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe worked hard this week to get the nuances in our game in place and I think we are ready to deliver that final showing that will leave us all ready for the biggest tournament of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mindset of the Bok Women towards the perfect game and their opponents\u2019 class will lead to another humdinger, Latsha predicted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are really such a skilful team and a joy to watch when you are on the sidelines,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we proved that we can play a bit as well last weekend, and what a game that was. I suspect we are going to have more of the same again. It will be a match of high intensity, huge physicality and amazing action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a perfect way to complete our local season and how special will it be if we have the same energy and crowds in tomorrow.
