The OlyWhites are anticipating a tough battle against Romania at the Tokyo Olympics

28 July 2021

The two sides go head to head tonight in their third and final pool match ahead of the quarter finals.

Coach Danny Hay says Romania are quick, dynamic and physical, so there's little room for error.

The OlyWhites will be without defender Michael Boxall and skipper Winston Reid who have both been ruled out with injury.

Play gets underway at 8.30.
