South Africa and Scotland are the only teams in the tournament that are taking part in the Commonwealth Games, but it is tremendously important to get match practice in test and tournament conditions.
We expect our game against Scotland to be open and they will come out playing attacking hockey.

The key to our game was that we were able to create space and our game flowed today and that made it exciting. Everything went to stick and we had a great rhythm. As a coach I know it doesn't always happen like that but when it does you enjoy it.
