    Calls for netball's Constellation Cup to look to the past

    Calls for netball's Constellation Cup to look to the past


    The trans-Tasman netball competition has been a four-test event since 2014, with it decided by points differential should it finish two-all.

    That was the case this year, with Australia retaining the silverware.

    But Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander believes they should capitalise on the rebirth of the sport's most fierce international rivalry, and return to the five-match structure last played in 2013.
