Netball Proteas coach Plummer to unleash Potgieter and Griesel who missed opening win over Wales: Netball Proteas coach Norma Plummer is set to unleash the vastly experienced duo of Lenize Potgieter and Izette Griesel in the second World Cup match…
South Africa began the tournament at the Cape Town International Convention Centre with a 61-50 win over Wales on Friday night without Potgieter and Griesel.After the win over Wales, Plummer explained that she left Potgieter out of the team because of a “niggle” and saved Griesel for clashes against Sri Lanka and Jamaica on Sunday.
“I always want competition within the squad because it keeps everybody on their toes and working hard. We didn’t put Griesel against Wales, not for any other reason but because of the programme going forward.”Asked to reflect on their performance, captain Bongiwe Msomi said it was important to win the first game.“We spoke about how important it was to win the first game. There are a lot of things that are being said from outside but we have to focus as a group on what we need to do.
