“I’ve been watching the whole squad at Indoor Nationals this week in Canberra and the quality of Nationals this year has lifted immensely,” Head Coach Brett Herrington said.
“Every national squad member is at the level they need to be at. We have a great balance of experience and exciting young talent and I think we’ve got the team to push long into the finals.
“We won’t get ahead of ourselves, we know where we placed at the last World Cup and we know the challenge that is in front of us but I believe we have a really good opportunity to impress in Croatia.”
