"Yeah, it's brilliant. I've only ever been in the stand here and never seen it from a pitch perspective. Just to be on it today is great. It's a phenomenal facility and the pitch is great. For it being so close to Scotland I think the support is going to be incredible tomorrow and we are expecting a lot of Scots here to cheer us on. That always helps us, especially in the second half. We are looking forward to performing out here and for me personally it's a great place and I'm looking forward to playing."

"We are pretty comfortable with what we are putting out there. We are pretty confident that this group has worked unbelievably hard to be here. It's an extremely proud group of people. I haven't seen a more together group of people who are all buying into the same thing. So no I can't understand why people say it is a second-string (team) because we are all after the same thing. Every single one of these players has been here on merit."

"Any team that's won the World Cup twice you have massive respect for. They've got some fantastic players in their squad and they've got some great young players coming through. We respect them, but we analyse them like we do any other team like we did with the USA and Japan. We find areas where we think we can exploit them and we've highlighted where they are strong and where we can try and stop them."
