"My focus is not on Eric, it is on my team and how we prepare and focus and what we have to do at the end of the day. We have to match them physically, we have to be as tough as them and play with a lot of heart," McCarthy told the media.
"I know we've got enough quality on our side, we've got players who can win you games, so that is where I concentrate my focus on, not too much bothered on Eric or SuperSport, we just know the team we are going to be up against and it is not going to be easy I can tell you that. And that is as much as I can say really," he added.
