The Black Sticks women are gearing up to take on five nations at the Hawke's Bay Festival of Hockey starting Saturday.
Hawke's Bay-based Black Stick Emily Naylor said the team was ready for New Zealand's first game against Korea on Saturday. The game was part of the festival's Six Nation competition.
The Black Sticks played warm-up tests against Korea in Auckland to prepare for the festival.
"It was good to play them [Korea] in a warm-up, so we know what to expect."
Ms Naylor said the game to watch in the festival would be the Black Sticks vs Argentina next Tuesday.
