The Silver Ferns have beaten Scotland 80-48 in the second and final test against the Thistles in Glasgow.

Grace Nweke, who sat out the first Test, started at GS and finished with 34 goals from her 30 minutes on court.

Maddy Gordon's feeds into Nweke were almost unstoppable. Gordon clocked up a whopping 27 goal assists from wing attack in the first half.

The Silver Ferns led by six after the first quarter but really put their foot down in the second term to lead 44-27 at the main break.

Gordon and Nweke earned a well deserved break in the second half, which saw Martina Salmon come on at GS and Peta Toeava at WA.

Kelly Jackson and Mila Reuelu-Buchanan were not named in the game day 12 as interim coach Yvette McCausland-Durie took the opportunity to give less experienced players more court time.

Carys Stythe, who got her debut in the Silver Ferns 63-41 win over Scotland on Monday, played a full game at goal keep.

New Zealand won the third quarter by just two goals to lead 60-41 heading into the final term but the Silver Ferns ramped things up again in the last quarter to restrict Scotland to just seven goals.

The Silver Ferns will travel to London to complete the Northern Tour, where they will meet the England Roses on Sunday morning in the first of three Tests.
