The matches kick off on the 19th of November in Sydney and the grand final is on the 2nd of December, played before the men's final. That's at Suncorp Staduim, capacity 52,500. Now that's giving the women's game some respect. I hope a lot of fans turn up earlier to watch that game, as I'm sure they will.
There are two pools with three teams in each. I see Pool A as straight forward and as how I picked them below. Pool B is harder as Canada is an unknown quantity to me. I've gone for PNG but not with any confidence with the decision.
Once into the knock out semi finals and I can only see two teams progressing. Then the Australians who have been improving more than the Kiwis in recent years will be too good.
