"Last week, it looked like we fell asleep at the wheel, and I think everyone has woken up now." Said Izak van der Westhuizen, Toyota Cheetahs Forwards Coach.

"Everyone realized that every game will be a big fight, and you need to pitch up for every single one. This week's focus has been good, and everyone has put much effort."

"It's also a bit personal; there's always a bit more in this clash. I think physically upfront, they've come a long way, so we're in for a good fight this Friday evening."
