Speaker 2 (00:12):
Can claim Netball's Constellation Cup tonight if they win the
third Test against Australia. This game is in Perth nine
o'clock New Zealand time. New Zealand of course won the
first two Constellation Cup tests here in New Zealand and
miss Sister.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Shot Jackson's got the rebound game over New Zealand. Comprehensive
winners over.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Australia for the second game.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
In a row.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Again is he leven? Sixty three goals to fifty two,
another comprehensive win and they're backed up.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
They are impressive victory and willing to be gone. They've
done it again.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, welcome Jordan Levon. Willaring have the call for you
tonight on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio from nine o'clock sixty
three to fifty two in the second Test following the
sixty four fifty victory and Test number one, can they
continue that winning form On the other side of the
Tasman Silver Fern's mid quarter Cami Order Poy joins us
out of Western Australia. Cimi Order, thanks for taking the
(01:12):
time for a chat on game day. What was the
most pleasing aspect for the players and the coaching staff
from those first two Test match victories.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah. I think actually we've been saying we've been training
well and everything leading into a sort of England and
then post England training well.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Had been going good.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
But the most pleasing thing is transferring that onto the
court and getting a good start and kind of getting
on top of the ossies early.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, just to build that momentum.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
For our Well, why do you think that was harder
to achieve during the Tiny Jameson Trophy series that preceded
the Constellation Cup when you went down to one to England.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I honestly don't know, but maybe just a bit of
time leading into Tiny Jameson where we're only like we
only had a four day camp kind of as a team,
but we've had that whole series to build and prepare
and get some good learnings and then yeah, we're able
to kind of put it off here they come Test
and then too against Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So now then big question, how do you keep that
momentum going now that you're on the other side of
the testment.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, I think it's a balancing act of taking confidence
from our first two tests that we've put out, but
then also expecting Ossie to come out firing again and
just kind of being real disciplined in the early stages
of the match, just to kind of keep at our
game and yeah, and just really going out there.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And backing ourselves.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I guess the other difference is they'll have their home
crowd behind them over here, and the two tests in
New Zealand y had great crowds, didn't you. How much
do you feed off the energy of home crowds.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, both arenas were massive for us.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
The crowds were so loud, the energy, the vibe. Yeah,
it was just so awesome and we've got to find
that energy within ourselves and our bench. When we're over
here in Ozzie, there will be a few ki spread
throughout the crowd, but yeah, we've just got to find that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
With an you always get a couple of sneaking in,
that's for sure. Give you order. How much of you
enjoyed your mid court combine with Maddy Gordon in the
first couple of tests.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, it's been so cool. I think it's cool just
to see the growth that we've had kind of from
training and then putting it into the game. She's obviously
that energize the bunny just goes hard right to the end,
real dog it on defense, and yeah, it just kind
of dominates that center position.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
But yeah, it's been real cool and home when you're texting.
Actually quite nice. A little bit of a change.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh that's good. Yeah, well, wing attack not exactly your
your favorite position. I'll ask you that in a minute.
Actually about if you do have a preference, But does
it take a bit of time to establish the connections
with the others when you come together. You play against
one another for the first part of the year, when
you come together, does it take a bit of time
to establish those connections.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, I think it does.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It takes a little while just to kind of figure
each other out and know where each other is going
to run and how we like the ball and all
of that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But yeah, just pleasing how the growth that we've had
as a team.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Actually, so, do you have a preferred mid court position?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I actually for first time to but I'm obviously grateful
to be on the court and playing in any position.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, And apart from the fact, you know, we obviously
know where the different positions are allowed to go on
the court and that sort of thing. But what are
the other key differences between playing center and playing wing
attack as you.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Have been Yeah, wing attacks you kind of have to
be more directive and run the whole attacking and run
the center passes and you've got got to take the
lead and n center. You're more of that linking role well,
especially on attack, and that's kind of what I've been
used to. So I've just taken like I've taken a
little bit of time to find my feet just in
(04:43):
that real commanding wing attacked position.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And of course part of it too is feeding into
the shooting circle, which I guess you do as a
center as well. But how nice is it to look
into that circle and see Grace and wiki in there?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah? Very nice. Say, it just gives you huge confidence
when she's really giving you the eyes and she really
wants the ball, because it makes you want to just
let it go to her.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You were out of this team for a little while,
a couple of years is almost actually you're back in now.
Of course, how determined where you can in order to
return to the international fold out after being out for
the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, I think it's always been at the back of
my mind. But the way because I've been not selected
for a few years, the way I've approached that non
selection has kind of changed over the years, and the
last year or so, I've just kind of been just
it is what it is, it's meant to be, It
meant it's meant to be, and yeah, just kind of
(05:36):
really grateful to be back.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
In the environment. And yeah, but seen coming off this
season where I've just been a little bit more refreshed.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, did you not have that that mindset before?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah? Before I think I kind of go and went
into a little bit of overdrive and like finding every
little single thing that I needed to do and it
kind of was probably to my detriment really and just
kind of overthinking things a bit. But yeah, just kind
of taking that more relaxed or not relaxed approach, but
just bigger picture approach and yeah, just really grateful to
be back.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well it's obviously working now. A change this year in
the Constellation Cup is that if Australia happened to win
Tests three and four and the series has drawn to two,
we got into a situation after the fourth Test where
you play almost like a mini game to seven minute
halves to decide who actually wins the Constellation Cup. Previously
(06:29):
it was on points differential across the four games. Have
you thought about without wanting to put the car before
the horse. I'm sure you want to win one of
these remaining two tests, but if it does finish too too.
Have you thought about the extra time scenario after game four?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
We have mentioned it and very aware of what it
could come to, but our plan is to really take
this next game and so we don't have to be
in that position.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No fair enough, I knew you were going to say that,
and you're off to the Steel next year. How did
that come about?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I am?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I think it just came about because of just change.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Really, I've been at a tactic for would it been
next she would have been my eighth year and no
bad bud or anything. Loved every moment at the tactics,
but just with the shorter season next year, I was
just like, sorry, why not at least just give it
a go, get out of my comfort zone, challenge myself.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Try something you Yeah, well, I hope that goes well
for you. In the meantime, your focus is on the
Silver Ferns and Australia Test three tonight in Perth. Cameo
all the best. I hope you don't have to get
to that extra time scenario. I hope you can get
the job done either tonight or in Test number four.
Thanks for your time.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Today, cool, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Thanks Giming kim Me or to Poy There mid quarter
