    @antipodean They had no chance. Nada!

    There will be a short delay while someone is dispatched to find a copy of the England anthem.

    I’m not a mean spirited guy but seeing the Aussie girls teams crying after the Netball and 7s losses brought a smile to my face

    Kudos to that Netball ref who didn’t bottle that final penalty call at the death there.

    Gold and Silver in the Hockey

    Netball have some huge decisions to make, long gone are the days of Netball being the main path of girls aspiring to represent NZ, more so with the success of our womens rugby and also this games, the Hockey, without going into the individual stuff too

    They could learn a thing or 2 from the men’s 7s
    After failing at Rio and with struggles since they found a way to focus on these games and found a way to win.
    All netball has done is lurch from one humiliation to another.

    And cricket as well with NZ women playing in the Aussie women's T20 league and having another genuine pro sport option.

    That's an awesome outcome IMO.

    Three gold medals, a silver and two bronzes.

    Realistically, we should have expected two silvers, five bronzes.

    @chris-b Before the games started I had pencilled in:

    Bball (M) - Silver
    Bball (W) - Bronze/4th
    7s (M) - Bronze/4th
    7s (W) - Silver
    Netball - Bronze
    Hockey (M) - Gold/Silver
    Hockey (W) - not in contention

    @act-crusader Why not Women's Hockey? I would have penciled them in slightly behind Women's Sevens as a good Silver chance and near definite bronze.
