Watch England take on New Zealand in their third game of the Netball Nations Cup, with the winner to play Australia in the final.

The Vitality Roses currently share second spot with New Zealand after both beat Uganda and lost to Australia in last week’s fixtures, held at Wembley Arena, with the winners of Saturday’s match between the two countries at the First Direct Arena then progressing to Sunday’s final.

England made regular changes during their narrow 62-56 win over Uganda before letting slip a third-quarter lead a day later in a two-point loss to Australia, the same two sides who contested last year’s World Cup final in South Africa.

Head coach Jess Thirlby said England “let themselves down” for not holding on for victory, which would have guaranteed a place in the Vitality Nations Cup final with a week to spare, although former international Tasmin Greenway believes they can take positives into this weekend.

“We lived on the edge that game and actually I feel like that is one of the best games we’ve ever played against Australia,” Greenway told Off the Court. “We didn’t still didn’t quite get over the line, but we challenged them.

“Australia had the chance to go 10 goals up and they didn’t, we took our opportunity and got back into the game. I definitely want the brave, exciting, entertaining England and I think they can do that with the quality of player on the court.

“It’s those kind of impactful changes that I want to keep seeing and that is one of the reasons why they performed so well against Australia.”

England have beaten Australia twice since their dramatic Commonwealth Games gold in 2018, most recently during the pool stage of the World Cup in Australia last summer, with Greenway expecting the two sides to progress and go head to head again in another final.

“I can’t see England losing against New Zealand with the way they played and the same with Australia against Uganda,” Greenway predicted. “What a match-up that will be!”
