Liz Anton (Glory) & Ruby Nathan (Canberra) are only playing the first game. As a reminder here is the Ferns squad. Two uncapped players in Edwards and Fraser.
Edwards likely to be capped then against Tonga, with Esson & Leat arriving late. It will be a very quiet debut! Unlikely to have to make a save. Edwards might now be the 3rd choice GK. Erin Nayler these days is backup to the backup at Bayern Munich, more of an 'injury joker'. Her days in the Ferns maybe done, which will please a few.
