Team coach Gareth Baber says his boys have the potential to win if they play according to their natural game pattern.

“When we got the ball in our hand, we are able to create that space and there are not many teams that can match us because they have strategic game plans.”

They kick off their campaign against Samoa at 8.28pm today.

The side then plays Russia at 5.09pm on Saturday before facing New Zealand at 8.42pm.
