The Heffernan twins are pretty sweet on the NZ side too

was at the first test on Saturday, watched Sunday and yesterday, its lovely to see the consistency that NZ manages to have across different sports, Nweke seems to be as invisible to umpires as McCaw was to referees. Not sure i saw her get called more than once or twice for contact. Great events though, really enjoyed being in the stand, although my drunken Twickenham style 'Come on England' shouts were not perhaps as welcome at the Copper Box
I keep waiting for Nweke to get pinged out of a game. She does give out a fair bit of contact, especially with an arm as she goes up for the ball.

Other girls seem to go flying when she's around.... Having said that, contrary to its image netball is a low contact sport and the biggest and the strongest have an advantage. She seems to have a neck I'm not making her physicality obvious. Until the others are falling over at least...

Lined up for NZR ... ?
Ahead of the Hammetteur? Surely not!
seriously though, our sports orgs do not seem well governed at the moment. Rugby, Cricket, Netball - basket cases. League has been consistently 'interesting'. Why is this so hard?

Absolutely not. I assumed you were taking the piss, but just in case...
