00:10 The pressure of a World Cup is always massive,
00:14 but I think our boys are in a really good place.
00:17 And part of the attraction for me is it's very similar squad

00:22 and it's almost unfinished business.
00:24 I felt in 2019, we were very, very close there.
00:29 With young boys, these young boys have now become men.
00:33 They've become very experienced.
