“The more match play you have with different teams, the better prepared you become,” she explained. “When you play the same kind of team, you get used to that, and then you get stuck when facing a different opponent.”

With the competitive spirit driving them, Coster believes that the U21 squad is well-equipped to face Aotearoa Maori and continue their development in the sport.

The two teams will play at 6pm tonight at the FNU Nasinu gymnasium.
