Australia ready for challenge new-look Silver Ferns will bring1 NEWSLisa Alexander spoke of the danger posed by Noeline Taurua's side. Australia are looking for a harder edge to their play against a Silver Ferns side invigorated by a new leadership regime. England's continued improvement has seen them replace the Kiwis as the world's No.2-ranked nation, a place they justified with a 13-goal victory over the Silver Ferns in the opening round of the Quad Series. "Noeline knows our style of play pretty well, when she's coaching in our league, so we're not taking this lightly at all." "They put out a really good performance against South Africa and I think it's really exciting for us to be out there with a challenge."
