A lot of talk coming out of their camp.
We have to be prepared that they will target our ‘guns’ to get under their skin . There will be plenty focus on our players and the umpires have just got to the umpire the game. Pay what’s obvious and not be sucked in to what PA tactics will obviously be.

I am quietly confident it’s ours to lose, not the other way round and we all know the result of that other final where one team had an unbackable home ground advantage.
