Head coach Paul Revington has overseen a transformation in the team, instilling an attacking philosophy and leading England to the final of the EuroHockey Championships.“I knew exactly what Revs was going to bring in and what to expect,” said Ames. “To be honest, he’s the exact same as he was on the first day and I wouldn’t change that for the world.
The pool also features France and South Africa, with the top four sealing progression to the quarter-finals. “You need a bit of luck on the day and I think there are probably five or six teams that could win the gold. But I don’t think you could name a favourite.”
