By Hockey NZThe New Zealand Women have set up a quarter final against trans-Tasman rivals Australia following a 3-0 win over China in their final pool match at the Rio Olympic Games. The Kiwis were in control throughout the match against a desperate China side which needed to win to avoid elimination. The result sees the women complete the preliminary phase with three wins, one draw and one loss to finish second in Pool A on 10 points. New Zealand now go up against the Hockeyroos, who finished third in Pool B, in the womens quarter finals on Tuesday (NZ time). With a day off for the Women ahead of their quarter final, the New Zealand Men are set for a huge quarter final clash of their own against Germany at 11:30am tomorrow (NZ time), with live coverage on SKY Rio Pop-Up 5.
