Just pulled this from the Stuff live feed:
For now, here’s what Noeline Taurua had to say about not starting Grace Nweke in the semifinal loss to Jamaica.
“No, what we’ve got to remember is she’s 20. When she played Mentor the day before she got the willies, so I’m not prepared to put people in when they are not ready, and they have to be. She’ll get a lot of confidence coming out of this game against a world class player. So, I just want to be careful with her.”
“I was really proud of Grace as well, every time Grace has been out there she’s been schooled by Mentor, so I thought she stood up really well and she’ll get a lot of confidence moving forward.”
