Putting her squad through their paces in a tough training session today – a day earlier than planned – following an "honest conversation" about Sunday's performance, Alexander said she expected nothing less than a solid comeback. Handling the Diamonds' tough one-on-one defence style was pinpointed by Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua as a key area for improvement after their 15-goal loss in the series opener. "It's been a very stark change coming over here ... 40 more penalties is not acceptable."
