From the dugout:
James Rowe: “They’ve changed their way of playing. They play shorter passes and shorter build-ups. There’s a little bit more rotation in there but nothing we can’t handle on the day.
“They are a technical team and I’m sure they will try and put their principles into the game. I expect an open game, a technical game and a fast and furious game considering the fans are in.”
