Silver Ferns' coach Dame Noeline Taurua says there was no way selectors could leave wing attack Peta Toeava out of the national squad after her performances in the ANZ Premiership.
Teaching players known for their flair to resist some of their natural urges has been one of the main focusses for Northern Mystics assistant coach Rob Wright.

The Mystics became just the second team to beat the top of the table Stars so far this season with their 63-60 win over their cross town rivals on the weekend.
The win put them second on the table just tucked behind the Stars at the half-way point of the ANZ Premiership.
