We have given the guys some time off and will only start working with them from November 7.
The guys are saying, so what if we're playing a team with 14 All Blacks, and that says a lot about the character of this team.
There were some very pleasing performances from the new guys. Some confirmed they might have what it takes, others did not. That is what warm-up games are for. You only really know how good a guy is when you test him in a genuine match situation.
