Kiwis face electric atmosphere

Newstalk ZB - November 7, 2009, 3:28 pm

The Kiwis are preparing for an electric atmosphere at Huddersfield's Galpharm Stadium for tomorrow morning's Four-Nations league test against England.

The match is a virtual knockout match, with the winner to progress to next week's final.

Kiwis' coach Stephen Kearney says there is everything to play for and that is how it should be. Kearney says the stakes are high and they are very confident they will have their performance right.

Kiwis' centre Steve Matai has been cleared of any serious damage to his eye. The 25-year-old took an accidental knock to the eye in last weekend's win over France and has been ruled out of tomorrow morning's game. But he will be available for next week's Four-Nations final should the Kiwis qualify.

Kick-off is at 7am Sunday (NZ time). Earlier, at 3.30am, the Kangaroos could secure their place in the final when they meet France in Paris.
