Don't mind if some of the old heads stick around a bit longer. but Klimkova has to start addressing our goal scoring issues by nurturing through younger potential. It's time for Wilkinson (if she continues at international level) to be a bench player, she might have more impact coming off the bench and using her size against tiring defences.
And I don't just mean Milly Clegg when I talk young players. Brown and Wisnewski proved at age group level that they can score goals that matter at big tournaments. Hannah Blake in the age group before them. These kind of players are at that age now where they need to be nurtured through and given opportunities with the likes of Hand, Rennie and I-P Riley. 
Otherwise we will just keep doing the same thing but expect different results. Which we know doesn't work.
Klimkova got her WC selection pretty much right. So she should have with 20 plus games in the build up, and lots of opportunities to experiment. But it's a myth of think that she has favourites. If anything she's bought in quite a few fresh faces since Sermani's reign - helped by yes likes of Erceg, Anna Green & Rosie White exiting the Ferns. But mostly the young players coming through as yet ain't doing enough, to go into a Ferns run on 11.

Whether Klimkova got her sub choices right in the Filipino & Swiss games is however another debate. Jale on earlier? Why not give Clegg a crack?

But likes of Clegg, Brown, Wisnewski & Blake now need to stand out in the ALW as an absolute minimum. Like Wilkinson has in her time in the ALW. You have to stand out playing adults, not in age group stuff.
