Taking a shot: Is this a game changer for netball?

From Afternoons, 1:31 pm on 10 July 2025

NZ netball is undergoing its biggest change since the game moved indoors, with the introduction of a two point super shot.

Australia and England have already been using the rule, but New Zealand is taking it to another level by placing its scoring zone further out from the post, which means it is a genuine long shot. 

Suzanne McFadden tells Jesse why this could be a game changer.
