2024/25 Silver Ferns Squad

I don’t think it is. I did it about a year ago, and got 15.something (can’t quite remember). Now I’m twice the age of these girls, and I definitely don’t do half as much cardio as I should. A lot of the younger girls in our group were getting anywhere between 16-18. There were some girls who just stopped cause everyone else had finished, so didn’t completely empty the tank.

For me, getting to 15 was hard. It was definitely no jog 😂 For the younger ones it didn’t seem that hard. That’s why I was shocked the standard was 16.2. But then I also thought to myself, maybe they do it differently?

I’m not too sure where I heard her say it (or if I imagined it 🤦‍♂️). But I’m sure Sharni Layton said they had to hit level 18? Can anyone in the know confirm that?

That’s a just wrong. All triallists should get a call and follow up whether in or out.

Really gutting hearing about Takarangi. Puzzling that Mikaere made it (who also had a great year) while Takarangi didn’t get a look in. The Ferns have a history of missing the really obvious picks.

Sorry not sure where to post this- Kristiana Manu’a and Renee Savai’inaea both named for Samoa for this year’s PacificAus series.

Can’t remember if Savai’inaea has played for Samoa before, but this is definitely Manu’a’s first time- and third nation!
