“We have to ginger the boys, especially in the second half,” Finidi said during his interaction with the media after the game.
“The second half was for us; they couldn’t do much apart from one or two breaks they had; we controlled the game, and overall, we deserved to win.
“The team is practically new, so we have been working with the players tactically and technically, and they are responding.”
