I'll be very surprised if we better our medal haul from Chicago 07. Can't see a gold from anywhere, but would love it if we could! Ward is a favourite of McCrackens by the looks of things hence getting this chance.

I just think Ward has a nice style to watch, be good to see him in the pros in the future.

I think Ward is are best Lightweight,but its a big step to top level..I think we will do well to pick up two medals,do they have to reach the quarters to secure a 2012 shot??

Yeah quarter finalists qualify for games. Team GB have 5 places but if we qualify 5 at the worlds we don't get a another 5 on top of that automatically.
