The Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic are expecting a rough and tumble encounter with the Thunderbirds in the final of the ANZ netball championship in Adelaide on Sunday, even using rugby tackle bags to prepare for the physical clash.
The Magic beat the Thunderbirds in round robin play this year but know full well that result will count for little come Sunday.
The Magic wing defence Jade Clarke says they're ready for a bruising battle in Adelaide.
