SA in for fierce battle against Aussies

South Africa’s national netball team, the Spar Proteas, are expecting a fiercely intense match in their first test of the Quad Series against world champions Australia tomorrow. Experienced centre Erin Burger played the warm up match against New Zealand A wearing a tracking device that revealed she clocked 9km in the three quarters she was on court compared to the 3km she ran per game in the recent national championships. “It’s very interesting that it revealed exactly what we lack – the intensity in our game.”
