This Rivalry Round of the trans-Tasman netball competition looks like going Australia's way again.
The round has the five New Zealand franchises playing Australian teams, with the total number of goals scored by New Zealand and Australian franchises totalled up and the country with the highest score winning the trophy.
The Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic beat the Perth-based West Coast Fever but the Central Pulse lost to the New South Wales Swifts then the Southern Steel fell in Adelaide to the Thunderbirds.
Tonight the Canterbury Tactix host the unbeaten Melbourne Vixens and the Queensland Firebirds play the Northern Mystics.
Last season New Zealand teams won three of the five matches but Australia won the trophy, due largely to the Vixens beating the Tactix by almost 30 points.
