“It’s a massive incentive to bring the community in and bring the fans closer to the team, everyone can feel that.
“I’m really looking forward to it, I’m really grateful to be here and to be going into a final on Saturday. All the lads are excited and have been training hard, and we will try to get the job done.
“Obviously we want to come away with the win, but the main focus is to enjoy it as well.

“It’ll be the biggest stadium I’ve played in. It’ll be good to have my family there.”
