So far at the World Cup, the competitiveness of the matches has been really great to see. The acclimatisation to Australia and New Zealand, with such a big time difference, will be difficult for those teams that have travelled so far but I think they will all start to get stronger.

Nations that were seen on paper as weaker sides, with less experience, have been able to make the games challenging.

It highlights how unpredictable this tournament is going to be and how many nations can end up winning it.
