South African National Team

World Champs is exactly 4 months and 10 days away!!   I’m beyond excited for this, this will be my 7th time representing South Africa and to me there is no greater honor!! 

This year we will travel to Reykjavik, Iceland from 27 March – 1 April 2011.  The teams in this years tournament are Iceland, Korea, New Zealand, Romania and South Africa.  We’ve played against all these countries except Korea, if memory serves correctly (there is a difference between the Democratic Republic of Korea and Korea, as DRK is in a higher pool than us.)

The schedule is as follows:
