It is an absolute privilege to bring you World Champion netballer, Katrina Rore on the Happy athlete podcast.

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

On the eve of their first home game of the season, the Pulse captain Katrina Rore is a bit miffed that they won't have home court advantage in the ANZ Netball Premiership play-offs.

Central Pulse captain Katrina Rore joins D'Arcy Waldegrave on the All Sport Breakfast ahead of their ANZ Netball Premiership double-header.

Professional netball is back with the resumption of the ANZ Premiership in Auckland tonight. The 10-week elite domestic league becomes the first professional women's sporting competition in the southern hemisphere to return to action in front of fans, since the start of the global Covid-19 lockdown in March. The captain of the defending champion Pulse side, Katrina Rore, tells Barry Guy what it means to be finally back on court and chasing another title.

Resilience and composure the Silver Ferns displayed in spades en route to claiming the inaugural Netball Nations Cup title.The 67-56 victory at London's Copper Box Arena proved much tougher than many might have expected.In stark contrast to their three previous matches at this tournament, Jamaica dragged the Ferns into deep waters at times in the tournament final.Only in the second half, after Noeline Taurua injected rookie centre Kimiora Poi and wing attack Whitney Souness, did the Ferns regain the march on the combative Jamaicans.The scoreline says otherwise but this youthful Ferns squad, missing Laura Langman, Katrina Rore and adjusting to life without the retired Maria Folau and Casey Kopua, survived their greatest test of character to date.And on this evidence, the future looks bright for the world champions.Where New Zealand enjoyed complete dominance in comfortable victories over England, South Africa and Jamaica, who they beat by 26 goals in Birmingham last Thursday, this time the pressure gauge told a very different story.This is exactly the sort of battle that revealed everything about the temperament of Taurua's emerging squad.Once again, as she has throughout the tournament, Maia Wilson impressed at the shooting end with her poise proving pivotal on her way to nailing 44 from 47.So, too, will this be a huge confidence boost for Poi, the 22-year-old Tactix centre proving she can thrive on the big stage. Just yesterday she played her first full international against South Africa.Overall, having completed an unbeaten tournament, Taurua's squad have well exceeded expectations. In many ways this was a development tour for all involved but with Langman and Rore to comeback, there now promises to be intense internal competition.Taurua reverted to her favoured starting line-up and they initially repaid faith by starting with purpose.Capitalising on Phoenix Karaka's early intercept, New Zealand shot out to a 7-1 lead. Their zone defence, harnessing Karaka, Watson and Karin Burger, regularly forced Jamaica back by smothering Jhaniele Fowler's presence under the hoop.It didn't last, however. The Ferns lost accuracy in their attacking connections with several loose passes missing their targets and, suddenly, Jamaica drew level.Ameliaranne Ekenasio stepped up to nail the final shot that gave her side a 16-15 first quarter advantage but the nerves then began to set in.Jamaica continued their rhythm in the second quarter as long bombs into Fowler dropped which pushed the Sunshine Girls out to a two-goal lead.Down on troops, with shooter Bailey Mes nursing her injured knee and defender Michaela Sokolich-Beatson returning home for Achilles surgery, Taurua turned to her depleted squad to spark a comeback.Speed through the midcourt was the favoured approach.First Souness replaced Gina Crampton at wing attack and Taurua then showed immense faith in Poi by thrusting her to centre and pushing Shannon Saunders to wing defence with Burger moving to the bench.Those changes worked, with the Ferns levelling the contest at 30-30 by halftime.After the break Souness and Poi's speed through transition began to pay dividends as the Ferns pushed out to lead 49-41 by the end of the third quarter.Taurua rotated regularly throughout this series but only when the Ferns established a 10-goal lead in the final period did she again ring the changes.Crampton returned at wing attack, Burger to wing defence and Te Paea Selby-Rickit replaced captain Ekenasio to close out the fourth straight victory.England, meanwhile, finished third after narrowly sneaking past South Africa 65-63. 

This week Brodie, Caitlin and Gracie talk to the World Champion Silver Fern Katrina Rore about the highs and lows of being a top-level athlete, the pressures of playing her career out in the spotlight, and whether she has body confidence issues.

They became World Champions together, but to win their next title, two Silver Ferns are on opposite sides.Katrina Rore and Laura Langman have both made it to the Suncorp Super Netball Final - Rore for the New South Wales Swifts, and Langman for Sunshine Coast Lightning. If Rore's team wins, it will mean she has won both the Australia and New Zealand competitions, and the World Cup, in the same year.The two joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss how they are preparing for the final.LISTEN ABOVE

Katrina Rore's confirmed she wants to keep playing international netball.Rore's future was unknown following the Silver Ferns' World Cup success in Liverpool, but today she made her immediate intentions clear."I'm going to definitely going to make myself available for Constellation Cup, so hopefully I'm on that side, and I've signed for 2020 with the Pulse."That cup will be played against Australia in October. The 32-year-old will then play in the ANZ Premiership next year, and continue to re-evaluate."I'll just keep reassessing every year on how my body is holding up and what my family commitments are, so just year by year." 

The Silver Ferns will meet a familiar rival on the biggest stage in netball in the early hours of Monday morning, as they take on the Australian Diamonds in the World Cup final.

Sky TV will be broadcasting the World Cup final live on Sky Sport 3 from 3.20am while the match will also be screened live on Prime.Head-to-head:This year is the sixth successive time that New Zealand and Australia will play in the Netball World Cup final.Australia are coming off three back-to-back titles and will be eager to make it four after missing out on Commonwealth Games gold in the Gold Coast last April.The Silver Ferns have won 51 of the total 147 matches played against Australia, giving them a 35 per cent win rate historically.However, on the sharp end of what's been a year-long rebuild for the Ferns, their chances stand strong.Silver FernsShooters: Maria Folau, Te Paea Selby-Rickit, Ameliaranne Ekenasio and Bailey Mes.Midcourters: Laura Langman, Gina Crampton, Karin Burger and Shannon Saunders.Defenders: Jane Watson, Katrina Rore, Casey Kopua and Phoenix Karaka.Head coach: Noeline TauruaNoeline Taurua coach of New Zealand.

It's make or break for the Silver Ferns.Having claimed five straight wins in the Netball World Cup so far, the Ferns have impressed on court with confident and clinical play.However, the first real test arrives tomorrow night when New Zealand take on three-time defending champions, the Australian Diamonds.A win won't just be crucial for topping their pool - having already locked in a spot in the semifinals – but it will undoubtedly give them the confidence they need to bring the World Cup home."This is make or break," former Silver Ferns captain Bernice Mene said, "This is the one we've been waiting for, all of the other games have been leading into and have been practice towards this Australian game."Mene, who represented the Silver Ferns at the 1995 and 1999 Netball World Cups, said it was important the side left nothing unturned heading into the game."This is basically it. It could be our one crack at Australia and on advancing right through," she said. "It's a whole team effort right through the court."I think we've got the skills and understanding now to be able to do that ... We know that we've done it in the last five games, we can do it in this one."The Ferns' unsurprisingly claimed massive wins in their first five games against Malawi, Barbados, Singapore, Zimbabwe and Northern Ireland.More interestingly though has been the variety of changes and combinations Taurua put under the spotlight. Introducing long-time goal defender Katrina Rore at wing defence and interchanging the shooting circle with Maria Folau appearing at both goal shoot and goal attack, it's clear Taurua has a raft of game plans up her sleeve to combat any scenario.Hailing Taurua's approach in the opening games, Mene was confident the Ferns now have what it takes to combat Australia and their tough one-on-one defence tactics."Noeline has been working on combinations, she's also been working on, against the teams that are less strong we've come up against, not just firing the ball down the court in two passes like the other big strong teams have been doing," Mene said. "They've been working on passing it back to the line [and] running through scenarios."What we've seen is a very calm attacking unit and that holds us some good stead against the Australia defence because they're really niggly, they try and wear you down."The Aussies are always fit, we're fit, but I think it's about keeping our composure and keeping to our game plan which is what Noeline's been working on."The Silver Ferns will face the Australian Diamonds tomorrow night at 9:30 pm (NZT).Dependant on the result, New Zealand will then progress into one of the two semifinal matches, to be played either on Saturday night or Sunday morning (NZT).

LISTEN TO LAURA LANGMAN TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVEFormer New Zealand captain Katrina Rore (nee Grant) was a shock omission from the Silver Ferns squad to contest next month's Quad Series in England.Netball New Zealand selectors announced a squad of 12 to head to England next month where the Silver Ferns will play the hosts along with Australia and South Africa from January 13-20.The latest selection proved one of coach Noeline Taurua's toughest yet during her short reign as head coach, as she put 25 hopefuls through a rigorous training camp in Auckland this week.The biggest surprise was the omission of Rore, who captained the Silver Ferns during their disastrous Commonwealth Games campaign."It was a tough call in that defensive end, we're very clear about the areas that we want to put out on court or each player to be able to do and it just happened to be that others were able to do it better," said Taurua. "She's not included in this squad for Northern Quad but everybody will be available for the Worlds."Katrina has had a massive couple of years and even though she's totally disappointed, I know she will be back and this opportunity also gives her the possibility of doing other things outside of netball."I need people who can perform and consistently perform and the ones who have been selected performed over this week."Taurua said with the step up in intensity, her job of selecting had become more difficult particularly through the mid-court and defensive ends which hold plenty of promise."I'm liking what I'm seeing," she said. "I liked the quality that was out there and that people certainly weren't taking their position for granted."Our strength is the collective. Everybody has contributed to the final 12 and because of that the door will remain open for everybody going into the ANZ Premiership. This is just one stage of the journey of where we need to get to. I'm grateful we have all committed we will do it together."With Rore out of the mix, Erena Mikaere, who played under Taurua at the Sunshine Coast Lightning, earned Silver Ferns selection for the first time to join recalled Pulse defender Karin Burger and veteran Casey Kopua in the defence circle."Erena obviously brings height to our defensive circle and her experience of playing against the Australian style for a number of years," Taurua said."And the experience and knowledge that Casey brings to the squad is invaluable."Young mid-courter Kimiora Poi ends a remarkable year on a high with her selection following a stand-out ANZ Premiership and backed up by her performances with the FAST5 Ferns and during the Silver Ferns camp.She joins experienced campaigners Laura Langman, Sam Sinclair and Gina Crampton, along with Whitney Souness who has earned a recall."This mid-court is an area we are continuing to develop and we felt that we needed to strengthen those combinations," Taurua said."We felt that both Kimiora and Whitney bring something different to the centre and wing attack positions – they bring a new set of skills to the role, are extremely fit and also show a confidence for such young athletes."The shooting end had a more settled look including Maria Folau and Ameliaranne Ekenasio, while the inclusion of Maia Wilson is a chance for the young shooter to impress in what is a big year for the Silver Ferns.Taurua felt she had enough cover with just three shooters, through the experience of both Folau and Ekenasio while Wilson is well known for her accuracy.She said it was now crucial for players to step up and take responsibility for their roles on court with a Netball World Cup looming."There's nowhere to hide," Taurua said. "If people don't do their own job then it impacts on somebody else, and that shows when we play on court."I think there's been improvement overall and a better understanding of what is expected and our ability to put that out on court."But she also confirmed that the door remained opened for those still pushin...
