“We played a conference final recently. It’s practically the same team, they’ve only changed a few players, they have a coach who has a very clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow he wants them to play and they do it very well… I think that the disappointment of being eliminated from the Champions Cup should fill us with energy to go and play a great game, show what we are capable of and get the three points.”<\/p>\n
