2023 WORLD CUP DAY 9 (SEMI FINALS)

Well played England.

I thought NZ lacked spark on attack, and were far too tentative.

I would have liked Souness/Gordon/Heffernan in the mid court for a bit more speed and flair.

Hopefully they can finish strong in the 3/4 game.

Tight game. Agree that the English seem to have more joy in playing the game at the moment. The ferns seem to be bogged down by something, all the structures, fitness targets and never ending rotations in each game. (except for that last game when Taurua didn’t rotate anyone).

Netball nz need to allow nz players to play in the SSN AND still be eligible for the Ferns going forward. Taurua needs to step down as well.

Interesting take, I didn’t consider that but makes sense. I’d be interested to see if SM would slot Austin or Wood there instead of Hadley in that case.

Aus attack struggling, definitely hesitating to pass to Koenan but also Kornan offering quite late at times.

The feed to Fowler is so so easy at the moment, not sure what needs to change because the defence is doing what they can but it’s just being thrown straight down to her.

Bruce and Weston are very similar in height but playing against someone every day obviously helps.
Paige Hadley straight to a warning for dangerous play! Rarely see Hadley warned.
Absolutely cracking game, Wood have a fine game but so is Sterling. Wilson too penalised to significantly limit Watson.
