San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh believes that his side are ready for any challenge when they take on the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game.

The 49ers have been in several situations including delays in the Super Bowl last season and in their first clash with the Seahawks at the start of their campaign, as well as playing the International Series at Wembley in October.

"Our team's been in a lot of good primers," Harbaugh told reporters. "Been through a lot of situations. Been through tough environments, whether it be weather or opposing stadiums.

"This team's been in a lot of situations. Been everywhere man. Like the Johnny Cash song, 'We've been everywhere man.' Everywhere. Been in a lot of situations.

"This game will be played on its merit," the 49ers coach said. "We'll prepare ourselves and we'll be ready to go."

The 49ers will be playing in their third straight conference title game.
