AUCKLAND — New Zealand's shooters are expecting to be the focus of some extra attention as Australia look to bounce back in the second netball Test in Auckland on Thursday night.

The pairing of Irene van Dyk and Maria Tutaia shot at an impressive 93 per cent as the Silver Ferns took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Constellation Cup series.

New Zealand coach Waimarama Taumaunu is certain that is something Australian counterpart Lisa Alexander will have looked at closely from the 54-52 result in Melbourne on Sunday. "Ensuring that we retain our shooting accuracy," Taumaunu said, when identifying areas her players are working on.
