So it all starts in 5 hours' time. A real test of Bazeley's abilities as coach. Three very decent opponents, with our team not at full strength, and these aren't friendlies. Getting results at these Olympics will be a massive achievement. I'm hoping Bazeley proves to us all over the next week (or 2?) that he is more than capable of taking NZ to the World Cup and having us play to the level that the players NZ has at its disposal are capable of when there.
