Think it should be on Netball Australia TV, Guyza.
Fun fact: There are FOUR Thorns players called James in the starting 7 (as well as a Jamal)!
Good competitive start, but England struggling a little in attack. Australia up 5-2 after 5 minutes.
1/4 time: Aus Men 17-5
Stechiwskyi 12/14 (86%)
Lee 5/7 (71%)Keeling 4/6 (67%)
Williams 0/2 (0%)After an even start, Australia asserted some authority with a run of 9 straight goals. The Thorns are putting everything into it but just falling down in the execution.
A horror start to the 2nd Q for England. They’re not giving up, pressuring Australia whenever they have the ball, but sadly, it’s falling down for them in attack. Aust 28-8
1/2 time: Aus Men 36-14
Stechiwskyi 25/28 (89%)
Lee 11/13 (85%)Firminger 1/3 (33%)
Williams 2/6 (33%)Eng settling into the game more now. Nicholson is a standout. The shooting % of 64 hurting. Lee-Tauroa is cleaning up at GK and Forcadilla is playing well for Aus
3/4 time: Aus Men 57-20
Carter 16/16 (100%)
Roberts 5/5 (100%)Keeling 14/18 (78%)
Green 2/2 (100%)Mass changes for Aus and they didn’t miss a beat with a dominant 21-6 Q. They did however commit several turnovers but Eng was just unable to capitalise on them.
As we watch Aus dominating, it’s important to remember that competitive men’s netball has been a thing in Aus for decades. By comparison, it’s in its infancy in Eng. It’s onward and upward from here and this experience can only be a good thing for the Thorns.
Poor Jamal Nicholson. Did a sterling job in defence. His reward was to go to the other end of the court and cop a bullet pass straight to the face. Aussies continue to stretch their lead.
Aus 68-23
Score: Aus 73-27
