    The Black Sticks women know all too well the enormity of the task ahead tomorrow morning


    That's when the side's takes on world number one the Netherlands.

    The Black Sticks suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to Germany last weekend.

    But Captain Stacey Michelsen says they have what it takes to bounce back.

    She says the biggest thing is to not fear them and go out there and execute the things they know they can do well.

    The game gets underway at 5:30am.
