"Bad luck" to both the male and female Black Sticks - but of course 'fingers crossed' for the latter...y'all performed outstandingly irrespective of how things have unfortunately ultimately panned out (in (semi-)final results)...in what were invariably incredibly riveting matches...esp. against some/many of the world champs, be they Germany, the Netherlands, Argentina or the USA... Even my 13-year-old nephew, as well as my very traditional, 'rugby buff', old-timer neighbour were deeply impressed...
Holding such internationally-renowned teams to draws and near-draws, and even beating the USA decisively, as well as leading Germany convincingly at one stage, were all a tv spectacle to behold;
wonderful stuff!
