He said they had changed a lot of their structures this year to promote attacking rugby.
"We have been well-known for playing a forward-dominated game in the past but we have changed our structures this year to play more attacking rugby," he said.
"It has taken a while to get our head around it and we still have a way to go."
He said it was a good change and the players were enjoying their rugby this year. He said they would be focussed on developing their style of play today against Ngongotaha and it would also give their young backline more time to play together.
Te Kowhai said Ngongotaha would give them a good challenge and there was plenty of local pride at stake.
That match will be played at Bellvue Road at 2.30pm. The other semifinal will be played at Kuirau Park at the same time.
All four clubs in the semifinals will compete in the Baywide Division One competition starting in a couple of weeks.
