“SA netball will be right behind you when you take on England in Christchurch on Sunday. When we reached the Netball World Cup semifinal in Liverpool in 2019 we were amazed at the support we received from so many South Africans.
“You will have the same sort of support. You have already beaten England and we know you can do it again and reach the final. We wish you every success on Thursday. Bring the cup home.”
