Toutai and Inoke

Toutai presented the players with their playing Jerseys this morning, this was after he made a speech to the players in which he stressed the fact that they must enjoy themselves, savour the moment of not only playing in the RWC but playing the All Blacks.

“The whole world will be watching this game, everybody ones to see the All Blacks. This is your moment, enjoy yourself and play to the best of your ability as this is the benchmark in Test Rugby.”
Toutai also had a quite word with Inoke Afeaki, who will be speaking to the players prior to the game.

“ If you are going to kick the ball, make sure it goes out. Don’t give them any fractured ball as they will punish you all day.” The players were very relaxed and are focused on their mammoth job this afternoon.

“This is the game the boys have been waiting for, we are ready for our World Cup final” these were the words from Saia Latu, who was originally picked in the squad as a specialist blind side flanker, but due to the amount of injuries he has been moved to lock. “ I don’t mind, as long as I am in the starting line against the All Blacks.”
