Harvey Norman Australian Jillaroos Coach Brad Donald has named his side for the Pacific Championships match against the New Zealand Kiwi Ferns on Sunday, October 27 at Apollo Projects Stadium, Christchurch.
“It has been a long 12 months for the squad since losing to the Kiwi Ferns in our last matchup of 2023,” Donald said.
“While we had to focus on Papua New Guinea last week, all the focus now is on Sunday’s match and reversing last year’s result.
“The team is excited to be in Christchurch and looking forward to building on combinations from last week’s match. We are eager to fine tune our preparation for our opposition and the New Zealand conditions over the next couple of days.”
Keeley Davis has come into the squad as injury cover for Lauren Brown and Quincy Dodd, who suffered a minor quad injury in last week’s victory over Papua New Guinea.
