“We’ve done a lot more match simulation,” Duggan told Sam McClure on Wide World of Sports.

“There’s been more of a shift towards match simulation and more combative-type drills. We’ve got to the middle of February and we feel really game ready and we have three practice matches to come before Round 1.”
