At any wheelchair rugby tournament with 8 teams involved, the pool match game between those seeded 2nd and 3rd in their pools are the most intensely fought, and the most eagerly looked forward to.

Unlike many sports, rugby advances the top-2 teams in each pool to the medal rounds, and delegates the bottom two ranked teams in each pool to challenge only for 5th place.

This sort of format makes this game the turning point for many national team programs. Currently, the Brits are ranked 4th, and the Kiwis 5th, but the with the history of success on the New Zealand side, a win by GB (and they're still holding their 2-goal margin) would be an upset in many minds.
