Things are likely to get worse before they get better for the Silver Ferns, who have nowhere to hide as Constellation Cup action crosses the divide from Australia to New Zealand. The title holders trail 2-0 after back-to-back 17-point defeats, and in a darkly comic twist, they have made a run for Netball New Zealand (NNZ) by winning each of their last eight home games against the Diamonds.
The fact that Taurua is renowned for its strict fitness regime hasn’t helped NNZ’s cause, and both matches so far have been decided by the Silver Ferns’ late collapse. Australia outscored their opponents by 24-11 in the final quarter of Game 1 and by 21-9 in the third quarter of Game 3. On the other hand, New Zealand outscored Australia by 14 points in Game 1, 11 in Game 2 and 18 in Game 3 a year ago. Interim coach Yvette McCausland-Durie and captain Karin Burger blamed mental barriers for the difficulties.
Their counterparts Stacey Marinkovich and Liz Watson now need just one more win to lift the trophy for the first time since 2018. The Diamonds’ last three triumphs have been decided on aggregate, which has been dropped for the 2025 series. This means that if New Zealand manage to return to parity, Game 4 will go to overtime. Grace Nweke is vital to their cause, but she has had to withstand relentless pressure from Courtney Bruce in particular, while receiving little valuable support from her teammates.
