Rest of world team complete the big double

6:17 am on 3 September 2009

There's a new dominant force in world netball - the Rest of the World side.

The composite teamm, which won a 3-match series against the Silver Ferns recently, has now crushed Australia three days out from the first Trans-Tasman test.

The World Selection won the match 52-43 after trailing by eight during the second quarter. Their shooters Cathrine Latu and Donna Wilkins got the jump in the third quarter to take a four goal lead going into the final quarter.

There's a concern about the fitness of Australia's vice captain Natalie von Bertouch who injured her sternum in the opening minute of the game and left the court at the first break to have the injury x-rayed.
