Statement Netherlands

Andries Jonker spoke ahead of the duel: "If you land on it with your knee or shoulder, you can have a problem. If you sprint from the grass to that pitch, it's also not good for the muscles and tendons that are already strained," Jonker said.

"With other drills we can train around that field, but 11-on-11 doesn't work," the coach added.

"There were two other options. We could go to Dunedin earlier, but then you have to rearrange hotels, flights and everyone goes the wrong way."

"There was also the suggestion of going to Hamilton. It's an hour and a half drive. It sounds easy, but then you're on the road from 10am to 6pm for a training session."
