"You know how good they can be and if you get it wrong on those days, then you can get beaten big.
"If I look at the two top six teams we've played this season, I thought we fared well against both of them.
"I'd like to think there's more confidence in the team playing against the top six but it doesn't take away from that bit of apprehension because you need to make sure you get it right."
