    Grace Nweke's importance to the team can't be overstated. Netball NZ must change the rules to make her eligible for the Ferns at all costs. She presents a great target and the feeders aren't hesitating to let the passes fly

    Like the ABs, we open the door to overseas selection and risk our best players playing in Aussie. It might improve us though,. It's done wonders for the likes of England.

    IIRC we were the ones who backed out of the Trans Ta$man competition. If so, that wasn't smart. An exemption for senior Ferns playing in Australia would be the go

    The Silver Ferns are one quarter away from winning the Constellation Cup for the first time in 4 years, and winning 3 games in a row against Australia for the first time in 20 years, first ever time winning the CC in Australia

    That was a heck of a performance. Absolutely destroyed Aus on their own court.

    Total team performance, Nweke and Drury are taller and stronger than their opponents, and the whole team played awesome. They must keep Grace, she is a must keep if we want to continue to win

    Haven't watched much netball in recent years.

    Watched that 4th qtr.

    My goodness is Nweke good.

    Defenders made Aussie shooters life hell too.

    Great win.

    The commentary is dire. Aussie down 12 late in the 3rd quarter and yet the Aussie commentator thought some issue with the opening centre was monumental - “a turning point”. Far out.

    Love seeing our girls use their speed in the front two thirds.

    Aussies don't mind a bit of contact huh?

    Or am I a little biased?

    They’ve been physical games, all three. But you could see their confidence take a hit when we upped our speed and found Nweke way too easy at times. Then the physicality upped.

    They aren't shy about dealing it out. Good to see us quite happy to return fire

    The refs agree with you - Aus got destroyed on the penalty count

    very impressive
    not an expert . . but i think we've changed our style a bit
    for years the aussies have played fast and we couldn't go with them (bit like what the ABs used to do to everyone)
    we were big, but too slow
    now we're big and fast!
    took the aussies on at their own game . . . and even stepped it up a bit!
    aussies don't seem to have any answers
    soooo good to watch an aussie team when the can't figure it out

    Maybe Australia are feeling the effects of having so many imports in their much vaunted Netball League?
