"It's really good to be at a place like this where we can get to play friendlies with high-quality players and teams of high calibre which is going to be a good test for us as a collective to know where we stand," Dove said, as per Chiefs' X account.

"It will give us something to work on. If we to fix something, we will have enough time until the season starts."

Dove revealed the team had three sessions on Thursday afternoon, but revealed the mood in camp is good.

"It's not easy, especially for the guys that have been on holiday but day by day we are getting better and I'm hoping by the start of the season we are all ready to kick it in," Dove said, as per Chiefs X account.

"Yesterday we had three sessions, one at seven, in which we had to run in the mountains, then we had a gym session and we had a field session in the afternoon

"But overall it's been good. Just to see that energy, especially in the morning the gens singing and just running. It shows the mood at camp, which is important for all of us and so it's been quite good.

"We are in a space where we only focus on football and try to get all the elements that are needed for when the season starts. 

"All the tactics and the technical side of it and obviously we have a new technical team so we are trying to get the philosophy of what he wants. Every coach is different and has different approaches of what they want.

"I think as gents it's up to us as players to assimilate everything they give us and make it work on the field and we hope that everyone as a collective we can get everything we need for the beginning of the season."
