To put their supremacy into perspective, between them Australia and New Zealand have won every edition of the Netball Quad Series, all but one edition of the Netball World Cup, and all but one edition of the Netball at the Commonwealth Games.
Helen Housby converted a last-second penalty to seal a momentous 52-51 victory over Australia in the gold medal match on the Gold Coast in 2018, and how the Aussies would love to repay the favour. Ranked at No.1 and with Gretel Bueta in the kill zone, there’s no doubt that the reigning Quad Series champions are the favourites.
But as world champions the Silver Ferns are hardly underdogs, and with the towering Grace Nweke providing the thrust, they’re expected to be right in the mix come August 7. There’s huge pressure on Nat Metcalf, who’s taken up the captaincy following the retirement of Roses' talisman Serena Guthrie, while the Sunshine Girls, with Jhaniele Fowler at their heart, are looking for their first major title after a string of bronzes.
