All eyes will be on North Sydney Oval tomorrow as our Beijing-bound Olyroos squad gets its first hit-out since Arnie's controversial selection announcement. Armchair critics around the country will be getting ready to speak their minds, but let's hope we just kick butt and get on with it! Kick-off's at 2pm, but get there early to watch our Matildas take on the Kiwis in the warm-up!
