New Zealand delivered a commanding 83-34 victory over Wales, despite the absence of injured shooter Grace Nweke. Nweke was ruled out of the game with a partial tear in her patella tendon, leaving a vacant spot that was filled by reserve shooter Tiana Metuarau. Metuarau showcased her skills with 10 feeds and four goals, contributing to the Ferns’ dominant performance. Head coach Noeline Taura expressed confidence in the team’s ability to overcome Nweke’s absence and defend their title. Meanwhile, Australia’s Diamonds continued their strong performance, defeating Scotland 77-37. Coach Stacey Marinkovich strategically rotated the starting lineup to keep the opposition guessing. The Diamonds’ new arrangement proved successful, with mid-courter Jamie-Lee Price earning the tournament’s most valued player award for her exceptional performance. England also secured their first win in the crossover stage, defeating Tonga 72-46. Coach Jess Thirlby praised the team’s energy and described it as their best performance yet. The Roses extended their undefeated streak to four games and will face Fiji next.
