“Well, for us it’s a non-event internally, we’re just looking forward to another match. It’s an opportunity to put our case forward for the semi-finals, which is what we’ve come here to do,” said Australia coach Matthew Mott.
“Everyone seems to be beating everyone at the moment, so to get out in front with another win would be a huge advantage and then we can sort of dictating our own terms on the finals. Literally, the last thing on our mind is what happened five years ago, so we’re just really determined to make every match count,” he added.
