Live blog: Netball World Cup final

3rd & 7 37yd

Do you think NZ can come back from this?

by Lauren 8/16/2015 5:39:23 AM
@Lauren: it's a long road back from here, but they've got time

by Dana Johannsen 8/16/2015 5:39:39 AM
The defence will be fuming to give up 16 goals. NZ is still sticking with the same line-up.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:39:59 AM
Expect the Ausside defence to come under more scrutiny this quarter at Dave Brown's end.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:40:29 AM
Ferns with first possession in the second quarter.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:40:44 AM
Chill girls, you've got this ???????? #NZLvAUS

Mid-range shot misses from Bassett and Kopua gets the rebound. Disrupted at the other end but still NZ ball and Tutaia scores.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:42:49 AM

Just relax NZ don't panic just yet!!!!

by Mark 8/16/2015 5:43:26 AM
@kim_therese: Here to help!

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:43:35 AM
Aussie defence just getting hands to everything and shooters are under massive pressure.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:44:06 AM
has the win of the round robin game gone to our heads - this is not a good performance :(

@kiwi83: I think more that Australia is much, much better

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:44:37 AM
Held ball again against Tutaia.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:44:47 AM
Rikki - in other words they threw that game just to let us get cocky and mind screw us...

by kiwi83 8/16/2015 5:45:37 AM
@kiwi83: hahah blimmin Aussies.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:45:48 AM
Simple game catch, pass & shoot Haha

by Jon Schlegel 8/16/2015 5:45:53 AM
Australia with possession to try to make it a 10 goal lead. I feel like I'm back in Glasgow.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:46:26 AM
And those were dark times.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:46:39 AM
NZ defence just not getting the little tips and touches that were so disruptive last week.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:48:02 AM
Australia's feeding so much better because of it.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:48:39 AM
7 minutes to go in the half.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:48:49 AM
Oh dear it's all going pear shaped for the Ferns.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:49:04 AM
Aussie quicker to loose ball, misunderstandings by NZ.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:49:26 AM
our error rate is just out of control.good defense australia.

by goferns 8/16/2015 5:49:29 AM
Kiwi crowd baying as their captain gets a couple of shoves and called for contact. Australia is suffocating them at the moment.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:50:45 AM
More direct play from NZ and nicely finished from Mes.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:51:39 AM
Far tighter defence from NZ to force the turnover.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:52:02 AM
Mes becoming more available. Aussies happy to let her shoot. Sh grabs a ripper rebound.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:52:39 AM
oooooh the wigs!

by Count 8/16/2015 5:52:50 AM
To stop the Aussies now the Silver Ferns may have to resort to doing a John Key aka pulling on their ponytails.

by spat106 via twitter 8/16/2015 5:53:08 AM
Tutaia shooting from range....she'll have to go lights out for NZ to get back in this.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:54:01 AM
if we can ride out the storm who knows.

by goferns 8/16/2015 5:54:06 AM
@goferns: Well, they've got time!

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:54:15 AM
Less than 30 seconds in the quarter.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:55:13 AM
Tutaia has the final say of the quarter, but it's been all Australia.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 5:55:49 AM
Half Time: @SilverFernsNZ 22 - @AussieDiamonds 30. Shooting: @SilverFernsNZ 22/31 (71%) - @AussieDiamonds 30/32 (94%) #NWC2015 1/2

by Netball World Cup via twitter 8/16/2015 5:56:23 AM
The Ferns win that quarter 15-14, but they will have to claw them back faster than that in the third quarter if they're going to have any chance at taking away the title

by Dana Johannsen 8/16/2015 5:57:15 AM
Don't think we can come back from this to be honest

by Lauren 8/16/2015 5:58:00 AM
Oh dear...halftime entertainment has gone noticeably downhill from the opening ceremony.

by Dana Johannsen 8/16/2015 5:59:06 AM
They are dancing to YMCA for goodness sake

by Dana Johannsen 8/16/2015 5:59:27 AM
After a quick bathroom stop, Ferns fans are trying to be optimistic...I even heard "game of two halves" come out.

by Rikki Swannell 8/16/2015 6:01:12 AM
Come on Silver Ferns!!!! Play your game! #SilverFans #NZLvAUS
