Head coach Glen Jackson expressed enthusiasm about Nasova’s inclusion in the lineup, highlighting his quality both as a player and as a person. “Joji gets his debut, we’re excited to see him perform, and it’s going to be great to get him on the field,” Jackson said.
In preparation for the crucial matchup, Jackson emphasized the importance of discipline, defensive strategy, and maintaining high intensity throughout the entire game. He anticipates a challenging contest, particularly in the scrum, but remains confident that the team is ready to fight hard at home.
