Looking ahead to the game against the Springboks, Davies said: \u201cWe are treating this weekend like a cup final and want to come away with a win. <\/span>
\n\u201cIt has been a tough couple of weeks, the autumn is always tough. To come away with three wins out of four, we would be happy with that.\u201d<\/span>
\nScrum-half Davies didn\u2019t want to detract from Japan\u2019s efforts in their recent encounter. <\/span>
\nHe said: \u201cYou have to give Japan a lot of respect, we got away with the win which is the main thing.\u201d<\/span>
