We finally have a name for our most successful international sporting team. Yes, netball. Despite having won nine World Championships, they didn’t have a nickname.

I’ll admit that during the low years of the Wallabies, whilst harbouring a deep need for some form of Australian victory, I’d flick across to the trans-Tasman Tests between Silver Ferns and ‘The Australian Netball Team’.

This brought quite a bit of satisfaction as our girls put their Kiwi rivals to the sword.

They are an exceptional team, so it is wonderful to see them tagged as the ‘Diamonds’.

The name fits perfectly.

Good luck to them, it’s about time.
