Australia's been rocked by further injury on the eve of tomorrow morning's netball Quad Series test against the Silver Ferns in London

19 January 2019

Defender Gabi Simpson has been cut down with a leg injury and will miss the last two games.

The vice-captain took a blow during a midweek practice match against England A.

Simpson had been promoted to on-court captain for the series after regular skipper and goal shoot Caitlin Bassett suffered a fractured forearm ahead of the series-opening win over South Africa.

Former Pulse shooter Caitlin Thwaites will take over as on-court captain.
