All Blacks flanker Dalton Papali'i revealed a moniker that has stirred intrigue among rugby enthusiasts worldwide.
South Africa might boast of the might of their so-called ‘Bomb squad’ of replacements, but All Blacks flanker Dalton Papali’i on Tuesday let slip details of New Zealand’s own “Easy Company”.
“Talking about the bomb squad, they’ve proven themselves and they can come on and change the game like that,” said Papali’i, who replaced All Blacks skipper Sam Cane in the quarter- and semi-final victories over Ireland and Argentina respectively.Papali’i said he was part of a group of players who had started watching the HBO miniseries ‘Band of Brothers’ in the team room.
“They have got their DNA as a forward pack. We’ve got trust in our plan this week and we believe we will be able to be there right until the end.”
