    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.

    @canefan Toeava (sister of) had a blinder.

    The Ferns defence was seriously impressive.

    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.

    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.

    Fair enough I suppose. But it might cost us the cup. If you switched NT and Toeava for Foster and Jordie I'm not sure the posters would be as sympathetic...

    When the scoreboard counts, it was very disappointing to lose by that much.

    If we somehow snag a draw that would be awesome and would probably upset the Australian “we don’t care if the lights are on” Opals even more.

    The Silver Ferns team for the world cup has been named. How the fuck did Toeava not make the squad? Her combination with Grace Nweke is brilliant, and successful. I think NTB has made a big mistake

    @canefan Agreed. The only 2 times we have beaten Aus recently Toeava carved Aussie up in combination with Nweke.

    If feels like a bad case of overthinking it.

    NTB talked about versatility being the important thing. But It's a cardinal sin to leave your x factor behind at home

    Toeava should have at least been named as one of the extra three players. The reason given is that she only plays WA.
