The rivalry between those two is on a different scale to the one New Zealand have with South Africa, which has more tradition and respect.

Yeah it's a big rivalry. We've been doing a lot of talking over the summer. Ever since the schedules came out everyone was looking forward to this game.

It is ultimately Leeds' decision what happens to me. I am unable to make any negotiations (with other clubs) or look to my future because of my contract. I have played my heart out this season and it would be an act of good faith if they let me go.

If teams above feel they are safe and we can get a couple of wins, then all of a sudden some pressure comes on that's out of their control. Then who knows what it might do.

I am delighted to see Jonah back on the field again. I had the privilege of captaining him for the All Blacks and he is one of the most dangerous wings the game has ever seen. It is a testament to the kind of man Jonah is that he is back on the rugby field. He is driven by a desire to succeed and we will have to make sure we are ready for him.

It's a great rivalry, but I didn't think we lived up to our end of it.
