International Season 2024/2025 Review

Its been a very long International season which, as we share this episode is still going on with the PacificAus Netball Series in full swing. We look back at the results from the International games which started with the Australian/English Series right through to the Nations Cup with particular focus on the Vitality Roses. It has been a hard season for the players with highs of series wins and becoming World number 2 in the rankings, to the blows of player injuries, series losses as well as dropping to 4th in the World rankings in the blink of an eye.Has this been a successful international season or a season that has gone on for far too long and in the long run, been a detriment to the world position of the Roses? Is the Roses program fit for purpose? And as we move into a new professional era at club level, is allowing clubs to have their international players for 3 weeks pre-season acceptable?
