RUEIL-MALMAISON, France : New Zealand have named their response to South Africa’s ‘bomb squad’ in Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final ‘Easy Company’ as the All Blacks take inspiration from the story of the 101st Airborne Division in World War II.

Squad members have been watching the television series ‘Band of Brothers’ at their hotel on the outskirts of Paris as they prepare to meet the Springboks at Stade de France, according to loose forward Dalton Papalii.

“They've got the bomb squad, we could be like Easy Company and go on and finish the job and be in the trenches,” he told a Tuesday press conference as the build-up to the weekend’s decider gathered pace. To counter the threat of South Africa’s replacements, whose physical prowess proved crucial in their last two narrow wins over France and England, Papalii said: “We really need to be switched on and give it hell.”

“This is the moment on top of the mountain that everyone chases. As a kid growing up, you have that thought of ‘ah man, one day I'd like to be there’ and now you can make it a reality,” he added.
