After two games on the road, head coach Paul Temple is looking forward to the lift his squad senses when playing in front of their own fans. We want to build some momentum into that break. Against these top teams, we can compete. That adds pressure as you go through the game.
After making her debut against Brisbane in an unfamiliar right back position, new signing Amelia Abbott is ready to up her involvement. I said prior that we see her in the backline or in midfield, so I think she can do a job for the team anywhere, really.
And Manaia Elliott is also one to watch, having been named in the Football Ferns squad for the upcoming matches against Costa Rica, where she could make her international debut. Zoe McMeeken, 3.
