Folau to miss Jamaica test

11:36 am on 22 March 2018

The Silver Ferns shooter Maria Folau will miss tonight's netball test against Jamaica in Auckland as she continues to recover from a knee injury.

Folau came on in the second half of last night's opening Taini Jamison test against Malawi and the Silver Ferns camp says Folau is following a specific recovery plan to ensure she's fully fit for next month's Commonwealth Games.

Defender Temalisi Fakahokotau will play tonight after missing the Malawi game with an ankle injury.

New Zealand won the match 75-42 with coach Janine Southby getting 11 of her 12-strong squad on court, including debutante Michaela Sokolich-Beatson at goal defence.

Jamaica also enjoyed a first-up win with a 83-38 victory over Fiji.
