A steely determination from Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua to empty the Australian trophy cabinet

Having lost their Commonwealth Games title to England last year, the Diamonds lost the World Cup final to the Silver Ferns in July.

Now Taurua wants to wrestle back the Constellation Cup, the symbol of Trans Tasman supremacy next month.



Taurua has brought defender Mikaela Sokolich-Beatson into the squad replacing the retried Casey Kopua and shooter Maia Wilson comes in for the Australian leg of the series.
