Silver Ferns ready to face Australian Diamonds tonight

Silver Ferns Netball defender Phoenix Karaka hopes an element of surprise will help them push the Australian Diamonds when the Constellation Cup starts in Auckland tonight. The last meeting between the rivals was in January's Quad Series in England, with Australia coming out on top. Having won gold at the recent Commonwealth Games, the Diamonds will be favoured to win the Constellation Cup from holders New Zealand. Phoenix Karaka told sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe she's itching to play.
