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.

@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.
Nweke scored 70 goals in the ANZ Cup final. A big proportion of those were from feeds by Toeava
Sure, but she isn't going to start ahead of Crampton.

Watching Nettie as a prelude. SFs finding Uganda more of a handful. Jeez their GS is 6ft 7...SFs need to crank it up a bit and work their defence harder. Must say Uganda getting the rub of the green.

Good news for the Ferns is they play Jamaica during this second phase but it's not a knockout. If Ferns lose it likely means a NZ-Aus semi.
No danger of us beating Jamaica. Our team, without Mweke and Toeava, look to be struggling for flair on attack. Jamaica have a monster of a GS, they are finding scoring much much easier

Sorry for pedanticism. Nweke.

Either way, I wish both her and Toeava were there. Having said that we have closed the gap to half time.
