Things are likely to get worse before they get better for the Silver Ferns, who have nowhere to hide as the Constellation Cup crosses the ditch from Australia to New Zealand. The holders are 2-0 down after 17-point defeats in a row and, in a darkly comic turn, they have provided a pivot for the Netball New Zealand (NNZ) defense by winning each of their last eight home meetings against the Diamonds.
It didn't help NNZ that Taurua was known for its strict fitness regime and both games so far have been decided by the Silver Ferns' latest collapse. Australia outscored their opponents 24–11 in the final quarter of the first game and 21–9 in the third quarter of the third game. In contrast, New Zealand beat Australia by 14 points in the first game, 11 points in the second game and 18 points in the third game a year ago. Interim coach Yvette McCausland-Durie and captain Karin Burger blame the slump on mental barriers.
Colleagues Stacey Marinkovich and Liz Watson now need one more win to lift the trophy outright for the first time since 2018. The Diamonds' last three triumphs were decided on aggregate, but that was scrapped for the 2025 series. This means that if New Zealand manages to return to parity, the fourth game will go to extra time. Grace Nweke is vital to their cause, but she has had to contend with relentless pressure, particularly from Courtney Bruce, while receiving very little support from her teammates.
