Silver Ferns defender Jane Watson joins the All Sport Breakfast ahead of the Constellation Cup against Australia.

Rookie Maddy Gordon has been named in the national netball side for the 2020-21 season, joining a group that is largely unchanged from the one that claimed the 2019 World Cup.Coach Noeline Taurua has brought in the uncapped Gordon, who just two days ago topped off a strong personal ANZ Premiership campaign with another title playing for the Central Pulse.The 20-year-old helps freshen up a midcourt that no longer has the services of former captain and World Cup winner Laura Langman, who just yesterday announced her retirement from netball.Gordon made her debut in the ANZ Premiership last year, and has emerged as one of the country's best defensive midcourters with great speed and stamina.Joining her in the middle is Pulse teammate Claire Kersten who gets a recall. Despite nine games to her credit after debuting in 2017, Kersten has not featured since New Zealand's embarrassing 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. But she returns with plenty of form, having been one of the standout centres during the domestic season.Langman is one of three players missing from the side that won last year's World Cup, along with Maria Folau and Casey Kopua. Mystics captain Phoenix Karaka has not been named due to her recently announced pregnancy.Mystics pair Michaela Sokolich-Beatson and Bailey Mes have been added despite both in the process of injury recovery. It is unlikely they will feature before the end of the year, should the Silver Ferns even get on court.Star shooter Ameliaranne Ekenasio remains the team's skipper and will have continued support from vice-captains Gina Crampton and Jane Watson.The development squad, which will work closely with Taurua and the first team, is headlined by exciting Mystics shooter Grace Nweke.Both squads will begin camp in October.2020/21 Silver Ferns Squad - Karin Burger, Gina Crampton, Ameliaranne Ekenasio (C), Sulu Fitzpatrick, Maddy Gordon, Kelly Jury, Claire Kersten, Bailey Mes, Kimiora Poi, Katrina Rore, Shannon Saunders, Te Paea Selby-Rickit, Michaela Sokolich-Beatson, Whitney Souness, Jane Watson, Maia Wilson2020/21 Silver Ferns Development Squad - Ellie Bird, Aliyah Dunn, Tayla Earle, Temalisi Fakahokotau, Monica Falkner, Kate Heffernan, Jamie Hume, Erena Mikaere, Grace Nweke, Samantha Winders

Have you ever wondered how the money behind political parties actually works? Meet Jane Stetson - Obama fundraiser and philanthropist. As the former finance chair of the Democratic National Committee, Jane Watson Stetson understands how to get people behind a cause. She is a master fundraiser and has used her tireless work ethic to help fund numerous political campaigns from local Vermont elections, to the race for the presidency. As it turns out, she's also the granddaughter of the founder of IBM, something that has brought more challenges than most of us might imagine. In this episode, Jane and I discuss what makes someone qualified to be a parent, the life of an ambassador's daughter, and how to build relationships so meaningful, that people will help you raise money for a cause.

Guest-wise this week, Jen's boxing clever with stone cold legend Jessica Hynes, chatting about her new film, The Fight, and psychotherapist Jane Watson comes in to talk measles, Michael Jackson and the epidemic of denial. Football, rugby, athletics... there's almost too much to mention in Jenny Off The Blocks, and Hannah and Mick are both giddy with excitement: Hannah because Dunleavy Does Disney finally – FINALLY – bows out (with a whimper, thanks Hercules), and Mick because she gets to say the phrase 'transient anus'.

LISTEN TO MARG FOSTER TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVEOnce again, not nearly good enough from the Silver Ferns.Their quest to turn the page in 2019 displayed early signs of promise. At this level, though, meritorious ultimately counts for little.For the first half of this match at least, the Ferns went toe-to-toe with England in Liverpool to open the northern Quad Series.As the contest wore on, though, the experienced hosts comfortably pulled away; their dominant 54-41 victory confirming their favouritism to claim this tournament for the first time.Noeline Taurua used all 12 squad members and handed test debuts to defender Erena Mikaere, who replaced Jane Watson in the third quarter, and 21-year-old midcourter Kimiora Poi, injected just before half time.But having set a target of two wins from three in this series, which comes six months out from the Netball World Cup at this same venue, much work remains for Taurua over the next six days before facing Australia in London.That is now a must win scenario to suggest genuine progress is being made.As it stands, this result equalled New Zealand's worst defeat to England - Taurua's first match at the helm in Auckland last September.One win from the last six tests is poor by anyone's standards.But, like anything, context is important.England have now won the four straight matches against the Ferns – six of the past nine. They are also, of course, Commonwealth Games champions, having stunning Australia on the Gold Coast last year.And in front of a boisterous home crowd, they started with intent to prove that result was no fluke.The Ferns, by comparison began poorly, conceding the first three goals.The experienced Serena Guthrie owned the midcourt, giving Sam Sinclair, starting at centre, a difficult time.The Ferns regrouped to establish attacking fluidity but England did enough to hold a 13-12 first quarter advantage.Casey Kopua's return, the former skipper playing her first international since 2015 after coming out of retirement, brought rewards in combination with Watson.England's reunited shooting duo, Helen Housby and Jo Harten, are one of the best in the world yet the Ferns pair forced England back; applied pressure and extracted several errors.With Laura Langman driving through court from wing defence, Ameliaranne Ekenasio punching out of the circle and Whitney Souness looping around, the Ferns attack showed patience but frustrating, erratic moments and indecision were still too evident.Too often Sinclair proved the weak link. Thus she was pulled just before half time, with Poi taking her place.At half time, England maintained their one goal lead.There after it seemed every time the Ferns threatened individual errors or missed connections prevailed. The final quarter but one example; defender Karin Burger binned for aggressive contact.The third quarter also proved costly as the Ferns slipped 10 goals behind.The shooting end, Maria Folau (32/29) and Ekenasio (12/13), produced high percentages but did not receive enough quality ball.Plenty, then, for Taurua to ponder.In the other of this double header, meanwhile, Australia got off to a shaky start with their final 62-45 win over South Africa proving flattering.Australian coach Lisa Alexander's initial experimental line up was exposed early as Norma Plummer's South Africa applied early pressure and shot out to a surprise five goal lead at the first quarter mark.That forced Alexander to inject her more experienced figures, allowing Australia to gradually pull away.South Africa will take heart, though; this performance a vast improvement on the 24 goal defeat the last time these teams met.For Australia, defending world champions, Bassett's absence was clear and South Africa shooter Lenize Potgieter had ample room to move for much of the match. 

LISTEN TO JENNY WOODS TALK WITH RADIO SPORT BREAKFAST ABOVEIt's the moment Kiwi netball fans have been waiting for.The Silver Ferns finally put an end to their near-historic nine-game losing streak against the Australian Diamonds to claim their first win 55-44 in the 2018 Constellation Cup at Hamilton's Claudelands Arena.After showing patches of promise throughout the first two tests in Australia, losing 57-42 in Brisbane and 56-47 in Townsville, the Ferns finally proved they know how to win – and how to win well.Silver Ferns captain Laura Langman said it was very special to claim the win on home ground."It's really nice to be fair and I think there's no place like home to do it," Langman said after the clash, "Ultimately for us, it just reinforced that what we're doing, we're on the right track.""We knew it was there and we just had to be patient … for me the win is really a reinforcement that our processes, when we get them right [and] when we have the discipline and the patience to stick to them, the scoreboard takes care of itself."Silver Ferns head coach Noeline Taurua was pleased to add a win against Australia to her short record in charge of the national side but was hesitant to get too excited, urging that there were still plenty of areas to address."From my end, I can just see the gaps, I know that sounds terrible, but I can see room for improvement," Taurua said."It's within our grasp to not only win the [final] but also the cup as well so I'm absolutely rapt that we're still in the game but we've got to be able to put it into action."Great improvements from where we were and it's great to get the [win] on the board … [but] time will tell whether we can back ourselves up."Taking a narrow one-goal lead after the first quarter, the Ferns took control with Maria Folau and Te Paea Selby-Rickit's shooting efforts.In a bid to settle her side, Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander called Caitlin Bassett on at goal shoot after starting her on the bench, but even the Australian captain couldn't stop the Ferns' fast pace with an uncharacteristically average shooting performance.Meanwhile, Folau and Selby-Rickit played on with a 100 per cent shooting rate in the second quarter aided by a forceful Ferns midcourt featuring stellar efforts by Gina Crampton and Samantha Sinclair.Ferns defender and player of the match Jane Watson was in sublime form picking up vital rebounds and intercepts. And, unlike in the past few games, the Ferns treasured possession - capitalising from almost every opportunity they were given to stun their opponents and put the World Champions in unfamiliar territory.Pulling ahead to their biggest lead in the series so far, the Ferns made sure they kept the pressure on their rivals right until the final moments to steal the show and finally deliver a passionate home crowd that winning feeling.The decisive win restores hope that the Silver Ferns could claim the annual Constellation Cup for the first time since 2012 but need at least a massive 14-goal win on Thursday night in Wellington to pull it off. 

LISTEN TO MICHAELA SOKOLICH-BEATSON TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVESeven-game losing streak? Make it eight to Australia.Failing to improve on last month's promising Quad Series five-goal loss to the Australian Diamonds, the Silver Ferns fell to a 57-42 defeat in Brisbane this afternoon.Tipping off the Constellation Cup in style, however, the Ferns were level 10-10 with the Diamonds after what looked a promising performance from the New Zealand side in the opening quarter.But that's when things fell apart.Falling off the pace in dramatic fashion, the Ferns responded with their lowest quarter score (six) against the Aussie side in almost a decade and struggled to make back lost ground after falling behind by a massive 17 goals.An optimistic Noeline Taurua, who was desperate to claim her first win over the Australians as head coach of the New Zealand side, said she still saw improvements on the court but ultimately labelled the Ferns as too inconsistent."There are clear areas when we are under the pressure as to what we need to do, we do it sporadically," she said after the match."In reality when you look at the scoreboard like that, it's definitely an uppercut but also there's some really positive stuff and we've just got to keep the faith in what we're doing.""The positives are we can only keep getting slapped and when are we going to learn? That's what it's all about."Silver Ferns captain Laura Langman didn't hesitate to put her hand up for leading a weak midcourt performance which left the New Zealand shooters little opportunity to score, assuring it would be an area of focus ahead of their second test."We all identified those soft errors that we were doing, I was guilty of a number today and it's just not good enough and not international standard so we need to sort that out and that'll put us in the fight," Langman said."If everyone's doing four, or five [mistakes], and I was doing a lot, it's costly."Young goal shoot Aliyah Dunn performed well in her first starting seven appearance before her opportunities to score became limited and was replaced by Maia Wilson during the second quarter.The Silver Ferns then struggled to keep up with the pace as their rivals took control of the clash.Veteran Maria Folau remained consistent, leading her shooters with a decent 90 per cent performance but it wasn't until Taurua called Te Paea Selby-Rickit on at goal attack in the final quarter that things started to shift.Defensively, the Silver Ferns provided plenty of impetus with none better than the defensive pairing of Katrina Grant and Jane Watson to put the heat on Australia's shooters.The defending duo grabbed a game-high four intercepts before Sulu Fitzpatrick courageously took to the court for her first Silver Ferns appearance in seven years.Connections began to flow again in the final quarter as the Ferns' midcourt settled and Selby-Rickit's combination with Folau shifted into gear. But it was too little too late to make back the hefty amount of lost ground.The Ferns will face the Diamonds again on Wednesday night in Townsville before heading home for the third test in Hamilton. 

LISTEN TO NOELINE TAURUA TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVEThe Silver Ferns have made changes in all areas of the court as they prepare for the Constellation Cup.Silver Ferns head coach Noeline Taurua has introduced three new players to the New Zealand side which went down by just five goals to the Australian Diamonds last month.Maia Wilson, Sulu Fitzpatrick, and Erikana Pedersen - who were all initially named in the Silver Ferns Development Squad - have been rewarded for their performances in both this week's training camp and the recent ANZ Premiership season.The trio have been included for the four test series against the Australian Diamonds which tips off in Brisbane this Sunday.Taurua said although the Ferns were focused on delivering quality netball during the Constellation Cup, she wanted to look at various combinations as they continue their build-up to next year's Netball World Cup in England."There are limited opportunities to see how our players perform against the best in the world, but we also have to be mindful that we want to build on the performances that the Silver Ferns have produced so far," Taurua said."We want to have a look at combinations and what those players bring to the mix."Wilson, who has been in and out of the squad since her debut in 2016, replaces Ameliaranne Ekenasio in the shooting circle.Well known for her accuracy and court craft in the circle, Wilson said she we relishing the opportunity to prove her worth again against the world's best defenders."I'm a strong target, I think that's the main thing for why I've been picked in here ... my job out there is to get out on the court, put the ball in the hoop and always be available," she said."[Australia] are a very physical bunch and I think that's part of what the game's turning into now and I think we've been prepping a lot in training to be able to hack it and take those balls with whatever pressure we've got on us."Fitzpatrick, who gained her one test cap as a teenager back in 2011, will join Central Pulse team-mate and Ferns' vice-captain Katrina Grant in the defensive circle.Taurua said she hoped that the duo's formidable style will better combat the towering Australian shooters."With Sulu coming in we definitely have presence there now in the circle defence," Taurua said."She's a bigger-bodied person and she's got a lot of presence in the circle ... but she provides us something else in our defensive unit, and we're looking for someone to explore that a bit more against Australia."Taurua has had her entire squad in camp this week, including defenders Kelly Jury and Casey Kopua who were both ruled out of the series as they continue their injury rehabilitation.The two defenders are expected to return to the court for January's Quad Series.The Constellation Cup moves to Townsville this week before heading to Hamilton on October 14 and Wellington on October 18.Silver Ferns side to play in Constellation Cup: Gina Crampton, Aliyah Dunn, Sulu Fitzpatrick, Maria Folau, Katrina Grant, Laura Langman (captain), Erikana Pedersen, Te Paea Selby-Rickit, Sam Sinclair, Michaela Sokolich-Beatson, Jane Watson, Maia Wilson. 

LISTEN TO MARG FOSTER DISCUSS THE PERFORMANCE WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVESilver Ferns defenders could be on the chopping block as coach Noeline Taurua looks to change things up ahead of next month's Constellation Cup.Concluding their first international campaign since the Commonwealth Games with a 5-goal loss to the Australian Diamonds yesterday, the Ferns looked to be in promising form with evident improvements across the court.However, one win from three games wasn't good enough for Taurua.Earlier today she said the Series closer had exposed the Ferns' lack of fight on the court as she urged her side to toughen up before facing the Diamonds again next month.Taurua suggested that the new-look side could be switched up again, with the possibility of calling up players from the wider squad not used in the Quad Series, and potentially from the New Zealand A squad, ahead of the team naming next week."There were areas where we were exposed and probably never had enough firepower to look at changing up ... so we need to look at what we have at home," Taurua said after the Ferns went down 60-55 to Australia."I don't know if I'd call it experimenting, I would like to think I'm going to be quite strategic in what I need to do ... we'll look at some of the others that are at home and the level underneath."Particularly concerned with her defensive unit's performance, Taurua said it was evident the squad needed an injection of height and speed in the circle in order to combat the tenacious nature of Australian shooters Caitlin Bassett and Gretel Tippett.Bassett dominated the shooting circle with her 1.93m frame towering over the 1.87m Katrina Grant and 1.81m Jane Watson.Meanwhile, Tippett, who isn't far off her skipper standing at 1.91m, caught the Ferns off guard when she pulled out her dangerously accurate basketball-inspired layup shot to soar over the Kiwi defenders with relative ease."When we got caught one-on-one, especially in the circle, we were exposed because of height deficit," she said."Defensively there were moments where we scrapped and we fought really hard but I also didn't think we had purpose in some respect."We need more in regard to our in circle defence, maybe a bit of height, maybe a bit of presence in there, but also people who are quite fast … I'm going to look at all areas and see how we can be better."The tallest current Silver Ferns defender, Kelly Jury, stands at 1.92m but has been ruled out of the 2018 international season after dislocating her shoulder in the ANZ Premiership. However, Casey Kopua, who has been recovering from a plantar fascia tear, could be available for the Constellation Cup.Although not bringing significantly more height to the shooting circle, the seasoned-veteran would add valuable experience to the Ferns' side.Taurua will have just over a week to make her decisions with the Ferns' second training camp set to tip off next Tuesday in Auckland.The Silver Ferns will play their first Constellation Cup match on October 7 in Brisbane.
