OLYMPIC champion Australia can avenge last week's loss to The Netherlands on Dutch soil tomorrow in the final pool game of the Rabo Trophy men's hockey tournament.
The Kookaburras lost 3-1 at the Hamburg Masters last week, a result which effectively handed the tournament title to the Dutch, silver medallists in Athens last year.
In Amsterdam tomorrow morning (AEST), the two teams clash again with Australia looking to continue its unbeaten run in the Rabo Trophy ahead of the final against Spain on Monday.
The Kookaburras thrashed South Korea 7-1 early in the week before downing England 6-2 on Thursday to book their place in the final as the top team in pool B.
The Netherlands meanwhile have struggled for form this tournament, drawing 1-1 with England while losing 2-1 to South Korea.
Striker Grant Schubert has been Australia's most lethal weapon up forward, leading the tournament's goal-scoring list with three.
The tournament features all six nations competing in this year's major event, the Champions Trophy, in India in December.
