    A simple equation for the Black Sticks men at the Tokyo hockey tournament

    A simple equation for the Black Sticks men at the Tokyo hockey tournament


    A 4-2 loss to Australia means the fourth-placed Kiwis must win tomorrow's match with Argentina to progress to the quarter-finals.

    Striker Sam Lane says they can draw on their past.



    Bragging rights around the Hayward Christmas table this year will go to Australian Jeremy at this stage, although his Black Sticks goalkeeper brother Leon did save a penalty corner.
