The Silver Ferns are one step closer to claiming the Constellation Cup.

If you're a Kiwi

I know that's what you meant but I just wanted to reinforce it. Netball, T20, WTC ....

Resurrecting this thread, quad series going on over here at the mo. SA got smoked by England yesterday, then we got smoked by Aus.

SA only trailing Aus by a couple of goals at halftime, not looking good for the match after this...

Bones

What the fuck do I know. Outstanding first quarter from NZ, working the circle brilliantly.

Good girls in front, 16-10

Bones

Thaaaaat's more like it. Defence shits it's pants and England draw level by halftime.

25-25.

Defence make the occasional big play but far too many basic errors.

Bones

Oh yeah. We lost by 3 goals. Cake

This tour is about seeing what many of the next tier of players can do (or can't). Crampton is the only player from the starting team who won the WC in 2019 that is left.

I see that the coach is joining the Jamaican squad to make up the numbers.

Imagine if the All Blacks went somewhere and the local kiwis and and the coaches had to sit on the bench.

It might distract us from the Beauden/Richie debate.

Noeline Taurua learns from her error at Comm games and starts Grace Nweke

KiwiMurph

@canefan Toeava (sister of) had a blinder.

The Ferns defence was seriously impressive.

KiwiMurph

Good comeback win by the Ferns.

Goal difference means Aus can still win the series so it will be important for the Ferns to play well in the Aus leg.

That was a damn good win. Oz much bette than game 1 and we stepped up too. Like that we shifted things and played a bit more height when needed.

Oz leg is going to be fiery I reckon.

Nice to see that Grace Nweke appears to be the dominant physical targetwoman at GS that we've missed for some time. Toeava has an almost telepathic connection with her, which makes the fact that she isn't going to Australia preposterous

The game was made a hard watch by the camera angles. Noticed it in the first game too. Keep the angles simple (ie side on at halfway) and save the fancy angles for replays.

KiwiMurph

Ferns completely outplayed last night.

Was quite disappointed that Souness played the whole game at Centre - she had a shocker.

Toeava was definitely missed.

Ferns must win or tie on Sunday to keep the Constellation Cup.

I can't believe they chose to leave Toeava at home

I think the decision was made before the series kicked off so they probably didn't know she would be so good. I respect Noeline for not going back on that decision. She said it wouldn't have been fair to turn around and tell another player the plans had changed and that she was giving players a chance to push for the World Cup squad.
