00:00 Yeah, look, I can be honest and say Mitchell Duke is out with a hamstring. It'll be one
00:08 game at a time for him but we'll see where that lands over the next week. He had a bit
00:13 of a scan and he's got a small strain so he'll be out. So again, it'll be an opportunity
00:20 for me to have a look at other players as well and against good opposition it'll be
00:24 a great test. You just said Japan got beat, that shows you how tough this competition
00:29 is and Japan losing to Iraq and South Korea drawing yesterday against Jordan shows you
00:37 here in the Middle East that those nations are doing well. So it's up to us to get out
00:42 there with our mindset and our work rate and our commitment and culture that we've got
00:48 and do a great job for all of us.
