Jones is likely to revert to his intended 10-12 alliance of Smith and Farrell but in doing so he would break up the highly-effective centre combination of Manu Tuilagi and man-of-the-match Henry Slade. Weir checked back to craft space and curled into the corner after Hemp's cut-back and, less than three minutes later, Stanway hooked beyond Hampton after a corner brought a goalmouth scramble. As a unit, like during the 2021 season, Pulse are largely a young group. However, they have experienced players in every area of the court and the powerful combination of Bird and Alexander leading them. Lisa Alexander has been appointed as London Pulse's performance director and joins CEO Sam Bird at the helm of the Vitality Netball Superleague franchise.
