WHAT THEY SAID
Scott Bemand (Ireland head coach): "There's always bits to tidy up on. But we recognise from last week a lot of those bits of pressure came from things that we can control. So we've been able to go after those this week. So part freshen-up, part preparedness and we think we're in the right space to go now."
Allan Bunting (New Zealand head coach): "Our wāhine (women) have all had an opportunity to play the past two games. Consistency and cohesion will be a key focus around our selections. We have had critical learnings out of the last two weeks and are building well."
