IT all comes down to the final match of the Constellation Cup to see whether New Zealand or Australia will take home the coveted trophy. With the match nearing, we cast an eye over a potential match-up between the two sides.

AUSTRALIAN DIAMONDS v. NEW ZEALAND SILVER FERNS

Liz Watson (C) v. Laura Langman (C)

Both players are renowned for their high endurance, class and ability to break a game wide open making for a tough battle. Liz Watson offers plenty versatility to the Diamonds line-up while veteran Laura Langman is a real barometer for the side.

The typical wing attack has adjusted exceptionally well to the centre role using her ball placement and good change of direction to make the most of her opportunities with ball in hand. Watson works hard both in attack and defence getting back to help out the defenders while also showcasing her smarts to fly down the court in transition. Her second phase work is impressive able to hit circle edge time and time again. Despite not playing with new Diamond Laura Scherian for long Watson has made the connection look easy with the two finding good space and swinging the circle to create multiple options for the goalers. Watson works seamlessly with the likes of Gretel Tippett and Caitlin Bassett executing well weighted passes while her already established connection with Caitlin Thwaites and Tegan Philip is undeniable.

Langman is as strong as they come able to hustle any opponent for space on the circle edge and commands the ball with her presence. She can do the unthinkable whether it be take a match winning intercept or deliver a cleverly weighted feed into the circle making her a key cog for the Ferns. Both her attacking prowess and defensive pressure is second to none able to deny her opponents any easy path to the top of the circle. Her connection with both Maria Folau is hard to stop with the two able to connect instantly to feed into the circle while she has shown that she can find Ameliaranne Ekenasio in the circle with ease. Langman is the gift that keeps on giving credit to her ability to re-offer across all areas of the court and knowledge to reset play and not force the ball into the circle. She is both patient and speedy making her a tough challenge for any opponent.
