“It’s going to be interesting, isn’t it?,” said Dickson on the scrap between the two 10s.
“You’ve got two world class 10s playing against each other and two very good teams going against each other.
“It’s small margins in these games. It comes down to goalkicking, field position and things like that.

“He’s a world class player and he deserves more than what he gets out of things because he’s been brilliant for this club.”
