IT has been an action packed opening two days of the Netball Nations Series over in Singapore, with one side standing out above the rest.
The Australians are the pace setters after two days of the competition, sitting on top of the table with two wins to their name. Those wins have been big too, to the tune of 50 and 74 goals respectively.
Hong Kong has also made a promising start to the competition, downing Malaysia and England to also remain undefeated after two days of competition.
On the flipside, England and Malaysia find themselves at the foot of the table with no wins to show just yet, but for the English at least this tour is about development of the youth, with average age of much of the squad only teenagers.
Day three action is already underway, with one match completed thus far and a second underway.
Australia thrashed Hong Kong in Game One in a battle of the undefeated sides, while in the second game of the day New Zealand have taken the early lead against Singapore.
Game three of the day is set to get underway in about an hour, with England taking on Malaysia.
