A bit late but some thoughts from the #RSAvENG #Netball. Storming game from 🇿🇦 in the decider, defence 🔥 especially Visser, looking forward to seeing her for 🦏. Roses showing lack of depth mid court and in attack, the game basically got away from them in a terrible few mins at end of Q1 🤦♀️
#RSAvENG #SPARChallenge
The Proteas win the series!!! They take test 3 by 65-50.
A deserved POTM was goal attack Owethu Ngubane, but it was an all round team effort. Not a single bad player, and they were dominant. Not a happy day for the Roses who really struggled.
#RSAvENG #SPARChallenge
Juanita van Tonder helped off court with an injury. We hope it's not serious. RSA leads by 15 with 11 minutes remaining.
#RSAvENG #SPARChallenge
3/4 time: RSA 52-38
England won the 3rd quarter (they always win the 3rd quarter!) but they only managed to cut into the margin by 1, so the Proteas take a commanding 14-goal lead into the final 15 minutes of the series.
#RSAvENG #SPARChallenge
1/2 time: RSA 36-21
What a half from South Africa, with the 2nd Q 20-12. The Proteas defence regularly smothered the Roses attack, producing turnovers and then quick transition down court saw van der Berg pile on goal after goal. Visser has been great.
#RSAvENG #SPARChallenge
1/4 time: RSA 16-9
A strong first quarter from the Proteas. Strong defence saw them keep the Roses to just 9 goals and they finished with a flurry. Elmere van der Berg proving to be a good target.

That is now the past 7 matches between these two teams where the winner has alternated. Is it South Africa's turn tomorrow?
ENG, RSA, ENG, RSA, ENG, RSA, ENG, ???
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
At one stage, midway through the second quarter, England trailed 22-15 and they looked in disarray. But they turned it around and from that point on, they outscored South Africa 46-27. The Proteas just made too many errors and the Roses capitalised.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
Full time: ENG 61-49
It's a comprehensive win by England. They put it all together in the second half, winning it 35-22. This is the biggest margin between these teams in 10 games. An all round team effort but captain Fran Williams was a deserving POTM.

3/4 time: ENG 44-36
Once again, it's the 3rd quarter specialists, England, who dominate. They won the 3rd Q by an incredible 18-9. At one stage they scored 9 goals in a row.
Helen Housby copped a knock to the mouth at one point and had to be replaced.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
1/2 time: RSA 27-26
It was a horror start for England in the second quarter. At one stage, South Africa led by 7 goals with Elmere van der Berg on top. But as with the first quarter, the Roses stormed back, with Funmi Fadoju picking up crucial gains.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
1/4 time: 13-13
It was a strong start from the Proteas, getting out to a lead of 13-9, but a couple of turnovers in the final 2 minutes and the Roses were able to equalise.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
We're almost set for test 2. Here are the line-ups. A lot of changes to both sides from game 1.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
The Proteas win 52-48!
After England won the 3rd Q 14-9, South Africa reversed that to take the 4th Q 14-9. They held their nerve well under pressure. POTM was Sanmarie Visser who was outstanding in defence.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
3/4 time: ENG 39-38
The 3rd qtr specialists have done it again. The Roses winning that Q 14-9 to take the lead going into the final Q. Funmi Fadoju starred at GD, while Helen Housby's introduction to the game proved successful despite some misses.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
1/2 time: RSA 29-25
A rather scrappy half of netball with lots of turnovers. Both sides finding it tough, but the Proteas have handled it the better so far to take a 4 goal lead into half time. Rolene Stretker's fearless shooting has been a highlight.
#RSAvENG #sparchallenge
1/4 time: RSA 16-12
A tight start and the Roses were in front for much of the first Q before the Proteas defence really started to apply the pressure forcing multiple turnovers from England. Sanmarie Visser impressive.
#RSAvENG #SPARChallenge
Almost set to go in the first test of the series. These are the line ups.
Unfortunately, Beth Durant (nee Cobden) has suffered an injury in training and is out of the series for the Roses.
The #RSAvENG netball series starts on Thursday. England has hosted their past 5 exciting clashes, with the Roses winning 3-2.
Dec '23 - ENG 54-51
Dec '23 - RSA 61-59
Dec '23 - ENG 53-50
Feb '25 - RSA 61-59
Feb '25 - ENG 61-55
Will the Proteas have the edge this time at home?
Sadly, it's raining at Trent Bridge at the moment, so we're waiting to see what the prospects of play are (tip: not great)
Should there be any play, we will be there for every ball
