New Zealand rugby league captain Benji Marshall said his team is happy to be the underdogs at the inaugural Four Nations tournament.
The defending World Cup champions take on Australia in London this weekend. Marshall said his team is ready for the first round clash.
“Any team would like to accept the underdog tag and you know, we’ve got no problems with it,” he said.
“We still have confidence that we can still win the game and we’re prepared pretty well the last couple of weeks. We had a warm up game against Tonga and things are coming along nicely.” (20/10abc)
