There's confidence the Kiwis are hitting their straps at the right time. 

Stacey Jones' men are out to avenge their two-point defeat to Australia in the tournament opener, with a World Cup title now within reach on Sunday night. 

They've responded strongly since, beating the Cook Islands, Fiji, and Tonga, and have superstar Kaylyn Ponga back in their ranks 

Jones told Mike Hosking they've been improving each game, and training has been really good for them. 

He says the boys have been ticking the boxes and making sure they're ready and prepared.
