NZ vs Australia Sunday 4 April. Post-match comments:

Starting 8:
Anna (Captain), Michaela, Ryan, Simon. Bevan, Loralee, Mia, Tim.

Subs:
Jim for Ryan, Alice for Michaela.

As expected Australia played a very hard game. They stuck tight on defence, pressuring passes and forcing us to shoot very long. We were not able to create the space required for an effective attack and turned over the ball too frequently.

Both teams scored evenly early on. However NZ gave away a few free passes increasing Australia’s lead, without being able to convert our own chances. Our defence worked very well, defending tightly, forcing errors in the Australian attack and collecting lots of great rebounds. Our scoring percentage had increased compared to yesterday's game but we were not able to bring back the score difference. Both sides worked very, very hard and it was an intense game.

Half time score: NZ 6 - 13 AUS
Full time score: NZ 10 - 23 AUS
