We’d LOVE to see that.

Well, what a day. The Silver Ferns pulled out the win they needed, coming from behind. Tied at 2-2, the teams went to Series Decider Time, and under incredible pressure, it was the Diamonds that held on to take the Cup for 2025!

What did everyone think of the Series Decider idea. Regardless of which team you support, what's your thought on using that as a way of deciding the series winner?

AUS wins the Constellation Cup!

Australia wins a gripping series decider 12-11, but at the moment, there's not too much celebrating as Sunday Aryang went down right at the death with what appears to be serious injury. We're hoping she's okay. 🤞

#NZvAUS #ConstellationCup

This is now 10 straight losses for AUS in NZ.

Quarter by quarter scores...
NZ 12, 15, 16, 19.
AUS 17, 16, 13, 11.

One team getting better as the game goes on, the other team dropping off.

#NZvAUS #ConstellationCup

Full time: NZ 62-57

A dominant last quarter from the Silver Ferns sees them take the win!

And at 2-2, we're off to a series decider period soon to find out the Con Cup winner for 2025. NZ will be full of confidence. Can Australia possibly regroup?

Nweke 41/44 (93%)
Walmsley 1/2 (50%)

Garbin 26/31 (84%)
Austin 20/25 (80%)

This crowd is so loud, getting right behind the Ferns as they came back in that Q, levelling the scores at one point. 15 minutes left or maybe more?

A very even second quarter, with Australia extending their lead by just one goal. Both teams being quite controlled in attack, limiting turnovers.

Both nations are going in with unchanged starting 7s for the final test. A reminder that if NZ wins today, the series winner won't be decided on goal difference. Instead, the teams will have a short break, then play Series Decider Time to find a winner!

#NZvAUS #ConstellationCup

For those wondering, if Test 4 finishes with scores level, they will play extra time to get a winner. Then, if NZ wins, there will be a short break, and the Series Decider Time will be played. So the teams could be playing for 88 minutes or even more!

Netball Scoop @netballscoop.bsky.social · 1d

#NZvAUS #ConstellationCup

In previous tied series, goal difference decided the winner. But should NZ win Test 4 to make it 2-2, another method will be used. With "Series Decider Time", scores will be reset to 0-0 and 14 (or more) minutes played to decide the 2025 series winner.

Stats from today's third test in Hamilton that saw the Silver Ferns get one back. The fourth test will be played in Christchurch on Wednesday.

The Silver Ferns have hit back with a terrific 9-goal win in Test 3 to stay alive in the series. That's a 26-goal turnaround from just 4 days ago!

The Silver Ferns with a great win to keep the series alive. Maddy Gordon and Karin Burger were incredible today.

3/4 time: NZ 49-39

Nweke 35/36 (97%)
Walmsley 8/10 (80%)

Garbin 22/24 (92%)
Dwyer 6/6 (100%)

A dominant 3rd Q has the Silver Ferns well on top. The Diamonds have no answer for Grace Nweke and they're making a lot of very basic errors.

Netball Scoop @netballscoop.bsky.social · 3d

#NZvAUS #ConstellationCup

Lots of changes being made. Kimiora Poi and Sophie Dwyer both came on in that Q for their first court time of the series. AUS has 10 turnovers to half time. They only had 9 & 10 in total in the first 2 tests. Maddy Gordon has 11 assists and 3 pickups.

Nweke 22/22 (100%)
Walmsley 1/1 (100%)

Garbin 14/15 (93%)
Dwyer 3/3 (100%)

NZ threatened to run away with things when they opened up a 7 goal lead before AUS fought back. Most stats very similar except AUS being heavily penalised.

1/4 time: NZ 13-12

Nweke 9/9 (100%)
Heffernan 4/4 (100%)

Garbin 4/5 (80%)
Austin 8/8 (100%)

NZ have the lead going into the break. Aus was on top for much of the Q, but NZ finished strongly. Sophie Garbin has been well contained with just 4 goals.

Teams are in for Test 3 of the Con Cup for 2025. Can the Silver Ferns get one back today, or will the Diamonds wrap up the series?
