        I hope there’s a decent shake up from the Comm Games team considering they didn’t do great. And I hope Glasgow gets a go. SDL rarely takes the court so why not mix it up? I haven’t watched any of the NSL games but I’m sure SDL is a starter considering she’s a Rose. Why doesn’t she get more court time in international games?

          My guess is it will be similar to the CWG team, which would be rather underwhelming

          Cardwell, Housby, Glasgow, SDL
          Metcalf, Clarke, Malcolm, Allison
          Guscoth, Mentor, Fadoju, Williams

          I too would like to see a decent shake up especially in the midcourt, I would pick Rattu and Flanagan as Tamsin has in her team.

                  I thought the same Sarahk, the article says Metcalf will be backup shooter. But you’d think she’s the #1 WA too

                        Chelsea must be so relieved leaving her hubby for another season to play in UK has worked out for her.

                          Wow, no Glasgow after all that, and just the three goalies, one of whom is largely unproven internationally?

                          Not sure this is a team I’d tip to go all the way. Though stranger things have happened.

                            Not a lot of risks taken with this team.

                            I don’t understand why Allison and Malcolm are both in the 12, to me they are very similar players and they both play the same positions so you really only need to take one or the other.

                            England only had 3 shooters in 2019 (Harten, Housby, Dunn) and Metcalf was technically the 4th shooter back then.

                                Seriously underwhelmed by this team – Pitman is a one trick pony who has been undone by defenders again and again. SDL would offer an alternative as a GA and WA, with more explosive speed. And I agree, why do we have Malcolm and Allison – a waste of a space. I hope they prove me wrong.
