Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua is calling on her players to handle the pressure in the third Constellation Cup match in Christchurch this afternoon.
The Ferns 45-36 defeat in game two was highlighted by a fast-paced Australian attack to open the contest. The scoreline was 15-6 in favour of the visitors after the opening quarter, and the Ferns never quite found their mojo after that.

Dame Noeline Taurua has named a 14-strong squad for next month s four-match Constellation Cup against Australia.
The team includes World Cup-winner Bailey Mes, who returns to the shooting circle following a lengthy injury layoff which saw her undergo surgery after she damaged her knee at the Netball Nations Cup in London last year.
Mes said her return has been a long time coming. It was a really long process getting back on court - I m back to not quite full games yet but getting there and it s all going really well, Mes told the Country Sport Breakfast.
