They play Macedonia and Angola in the pool. If they win both they likely play Dominican Republic in the QFs, if they win one then likely play Russia.

Should they win their QF they have to win one of their SF matchups to qualify for London.

Could still see them sneaking past Angola on a good day, but the need a miracle to make London. They were prob the 5th of 6th best team at the tourny with Penney, now amongst the also rans.

Still a chance but depends on who makes the team. Tallblacks have always played better with their backs to the wall but this is a big ask. Abercrombie would need to have an amazing tournament along with Pledger and Vukona for them to make it all the way
