❇️ First 8 games: unbeaten (20pts), 1 goal conceded❇️ Today v Derby: lost 3-2 The Roses trailed 10-7 following a sloppy opening 15 minutes from both attack ends, and Thirlby's strong team talk appeared to pay dividends. Tiana Metuarau starred once again after enjoying a dream debut on Monday, and with the Commonwealth Games on the horizon, Taurua believes this experience will prove invaluable for her new-look Silver Ferns side. But the inspired Europeans ensured the fans would have little to cheer during the three days of competition, a five-point lead after day one knocking the stuffing out of Hal Sutton's star-studded US side that included Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, whose bitter rivalry ramped up further when they lost twice on day one paired together.
