Bouyed by our excellent, nay outstanding result against Norway we went back in against Sweden with the same lineup. I was quite nervous about this team - something like a wounded animal - doing badly and struggling back into contention. The team did well to recover for a worse position to lose 11-19. Still OK qualifying and in there fighting.
Next was Japan and I brought Andrew/Murray back in to replace Warren/Pauline. Japan is another of those regional teams that Australia has a poorish record against. And regrettably we continued this record with a 9-21 loss.
Again still not in bad shape 4 ahead of 9th but only 15 from 3rd. As we would hope our destiny is very much in our grasp. So tomorrow we leave Scandinavia via Japan to South America against Brazil, Argentina and then the warmer climate of Trinidad and Tobago.
The lineup for the first match is Murray/Andrew versus Chagas and Villas-Boa with Warren/Pauline against Brenner and Figuieredo.
I would like to write more but I am simply too stuffed to do it now. I also have a WBF dinner so have to change into something more respectable.
Best
David
