Japan and Australia again come out on top for Volleyball World Championships berth

July 14, 2017 by Rob Keating

 

Volleyroos captain Nathan Roberts hits off the top of the Thailand block.

In day two action it was again the highest ranked teams that moved another step closer to claiming a men’s volleyball World Championship berth.

In the first match at the AIS Arena we saw Japan easily overcome New Zealand 3-0 (25-11, 25-16, 25-10). Japan is ranked at no. 14 in the world and was just too experienced for the no. 50 ranked team from across the ditch.

The Volleyroos backed up from their opening win against New Zealand with a solid win over Thailand who is the world-ranked 42nd team on the FIVB rankings. The final score was 3-0 (25-20, 25-21, 25-19).

Australian Head Coach Mark Lebedew brought Nathan Roberts into the starting lineup for the match against Thailand, and with his added experience, the team was just too solid for Thailand.

Friday is a rest day for the Volleyroos ahead of their big match against Japan on Saturday.

On day three New Zealand plays Chinese Taipei, followed by Japan v Thailand.
