"We're not leaving anything to chance but working round the clock to ensure we hand them the toughest match of their lives.

"The players are ready and raring to pounce on the Tunisians, they've vowed to pick one of the spots meant for Africa at the World Cup and won't allow Tunisia or any other side to cut short their lofty dreams," said the Delta Queens coach to supersport.com.
