“In the 2019 World Cup semifinal they played similarly to us and, in the end, one penalty goal separated the teams.”
Stick reiterated his skipper’s message and said: “It’s always tough to play Wales at home. They are tough people with a high work rate and it shows in the way they play.
“They have a few young players coming through the system and I have no doubt they’ll want to show they deserve to be there. So, we are expecting a tough game.
“That said, the focus for us will be to make sure we build momentum with the Rugby World Cup ahead.”
Stick added: “They gave us a run in the Castle Lager Incoming Series last year, while they also showed against England that they are moving in the right direction.
“It’s going to be a tough grind and we must pitch up to beat them. They are a team that knows how to play championship games, and if you don’t respect them, they can punish you.”
