A distinct new energy and excitement permeated through the Silver Ferns’ training session today.
The intensity was obvious but it was helped thanks to the clear message coming down from new coach Noeline Taurua.
"If they don't take accountability then everyone's going to suffer."
Taurua is tasked with rebuilding the Silver Ferns' reputation after their woeful performance at the Commonwealth Games.
Just two trainings in, she's under no illusion the process will take time.
"I'm testing and assessing players in real time so my hope is to get everybody out on court over the Quad Series.
"That's the only way we're going to be able to see if people can handle at this level."
The silver Ferns will meet England on Saturday for the first time since their 54-45 loss in pool play on the Gold Coast in April.
