EVERY game from now on is the Super Rugby final, Waratahs star Adam Ashley-Cooper has declared.
The NSW centre believes the team is in the best position it's ever been to clinch a maiden premiership, but with four games of the regular season remaining, he says complacency can't be allowed to creep in to the camp of the Australian conference leaders.
"The way we're looking with our results, and our position on the ladder with only four games to go, we're looking our best chance we've ever been," Ashley-Cooper said.
"I've been thinking about it over the weekend, and for me, each day, each game from now on, we've got to prepare as though we're preparing for a final.

"That's the way it is because it's the back end of the season, it's where the quality teams start to really lift and quality football is played.
"So you need to be doing everything you can here to make sure you're bettering yourself, and you're putting in absolute quality here at training so that reflects on the field."
Probably the greatest challenge of their season comes next, an away game against back-to-back premiers the Chiefs, who will be seething after suffering a humiliating 45-8 loss in Wellington last weekend.
"It's certainly not better for us, that's for sure," Ashley-Cooper said.
"The way the Hurricanes finished them off, you don't want to be a part of that, and this whole week they'll be wanting to respond.

"Their backs are against the wall. They haven't been in this position in a few years, normally they're first in the New Zealand conference, one, two, three on the ladder, performing consistently week in, week out.
"So they're in a tough position, and they'll want to stay tight, and come out against us and respond this weekend.
"It's really exciting for us this week against Chiefs, they're defending champions, it's over there, and they're coming off a bad loss so there is going to be a backlash.
"They need to win, we're travelling, and it's always tough travelling to New Zealand, we've come off the back of a short turnaround in two games, so it's all there.
"We need to treat this game like a final."
