Newshub caught up with McCaw to ask how he thinks the team is handling the build-up to the final against South Africa.

"I think they're just excited, which is a great thing to be," he said. "This is why you play the game - to be in weeks like this.

"The opportunity is there to perform on Saturday [local time]... there will be a few nerves, but they've earnt their right to have a crack and I think they're just pretty keen to get into it."
