“We’re grateful for the efforts of those involved within the pathway that have been essential in contributing to our strong standing heading into Friday's game. Our players have taken the opportunities presented to them, overcoming difficult tests week-on-week, and have impressed as a Brotherhood. 

“The team have been on a journey over the past two months, and the progression has been very pleasing. That said, there’s so much to play for and our squad have prepared diligently to amplify their strengths and take that final step forwards in Cardiff, whatever it takes.

“The staff and I want the players to give their all and exceed the expectations of the occasion that lies ahead of us this week.”
