Netball World Cup 2015: England set up Australia meeting
Led by wing attack Rhonda John-Davis, playing her 150th Test match and in her fifth World Cup, Trinidad and Tobago found good pace through the middle and good space in the circle.

“This stamp will provide the public and netball fans with a unique memento of this major worldwide event”.
New Zealand stunned 10-times world champions and hosts Australia with a thrilling 52-47 victory in front of a Netball World Cup record crowd at the Allphones Arena on the Olympic Park in Sydney today.
But England took a four goal win over the Sunshine Girls to confirm their status as World Cup title contenders.
The coach nominated attention to detail on tactics and strategies, and a performance analysis system she says is “second to none” as key to success.
The Diamonds are picking apart every detail of their game in a bid to flush out the sloppy errors and inconsistencies that dogged Sunday’s upset Netball World Cup loss to New Zealand.
Rauluni adds as a young player who is continually developing her skills being part of Fiji Pearls team to the World Cup is a dream come true for her. “The manager said that would be great and they’d really appreciate it”.
Earlier in the day, the Silver Ferns easily accounted for Barbados 73-28.
It’s unlikely Taumaunu will rotate her side to the extent she has during their two outings so far in Sydney, with all 12 getting a run against Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago.
“This is what people don’t understand who aren’t involved in the inner sanctum of the team: nobody gets ahead of themselves in the Australian team”, Alexander said.
“(Tomorrow) we’ll still need to have that balance of that fire in our bellies but also being smart with what we’re doing”, she said.
Kopua’s return to form comes at the right time for the Ferns as the defensive end prepares to take on one of the toughest jobs in world netball tonight – marking the Jamaican super shooters Romelda Aiken and Jhaniele Fowler-Reid.
The two teams were scheduled to play a friendly match on Sunday in Australia but New Zealand delayed to arrive and only arrived on Monday night.
“There’s so many things we can change for the next time when hopefully we come up against them”. “I know it’s going to be a huge ask, but we do have the potential to create some upsets if we play to our best”.
