“They have had some good success recently and are in great shape and come here with confidence. But as we grew up and we spent time together, the boys are very excited about this opportunity. [today]. So travel is a big challenge. But first, this is the first game. We are well prepared. We know there is a lot to build. Our players have worked hard and pushed by great players like Ben Losage, Jack Ilnicki, Kyle Bailey and Lucas Rumble, and the culture here is great.

As for Keys, Jones said, “Chile will consider coming to us when they break up, there is no question about that, so we need to be clean, tidy and tidy at home. If we take care of ourselves and play our own game.” We will be fine. “
