Men’s GS Geldard GA Powell WA Vercoe C Tangira WD Tana GD Wetere GK Rich
Mixed GS Gerber GA G.Heffernan WA Scherian C Gordon WD Swartz GD Mikaere GK Tukaki
For viewers outside NZ: https://www.netballpass.com/
Eagerly awaiting the SF starting 7!
1/4 time: Men’s 14-8
Geldard 10/12 (83%) Powell 4/5 (80%)
Gerber 7/10 (70%) Heffernan 1/2 (50%)
Tangira 6 assists Wetere 2 gains.
Tbh I thought the game so far has been a bit lacklustre.
1/2 time: Men’s 28-18
Geldard 18/20 (90%) Smith 1/1 (100%)
Gerber 15/19 (79%) Namana 2/3 (67%)
Tangira 11 assists Wetere 6 gains
Can’t wait to see Souness at C. I think DNT will be refining her starting defence line up throughout the series. Nweke/TPSR will be her secret weapon.
3/4 time: Men’s 36-25
Geldard 23/28 (82%) Smith 4/6 (67%)
Namana 5/6 (83%) Faitaua-Nanai 4/4 (100%)
Wow, the defence is well on top in this one. Just 15 goals in that Q. Lots of positional changes happening.
Full time: Men’s 47-39
Geldard 23/28 (82%) Jefferies 9/10 (90%) Powell 9/11 (82%) Smith 6/11 (55%)
Gerber 28/34 (82%) Namana 5/6 (83%) Faitaua-Nanai 4/4 (100%) Heffernan 2/6 (33%)
Penalties: MIX 48-42 Turnovers: MIX 35-27

Elle Temu went down there. Nothing serious, just a slip. But the Ferns lead 14-11 after 12.
Souness has been good at C. The Ferns very controlled. 18-13 nearing 1/4 time.
Definitely an improved Ferns from the last few series.
Souness got the start at C and a couple nice defensive touches which I was most intrigued to see.
What are the shooting stats Ian? Thanks
Souness was beautiful on the feed that quarter.
