From today to Saturday the fifth edition of the PacificAus Sports Netball Series will be held at Nissan Arena in Brisbane.
The series is hosted by Netball Australia, and funded by the Australian Government.
The Australian First Nations team, the Black Swans, is back again and the performance of this team representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders will be closely watched. However, they are not eligible to play in the medal matches and will be placed 6th.
The five national teams battling it out for the placings and world rankings points, are the Fiji Pearls, PNG Pepes, Samoa Tifa Moana, Scottish Thistles, and Tonga Tala.
This is the first time at the tournament for Scotland, while Tonga will be looking to continue on their winning ways, having won each of the four previous editions of this event.
The series provides Pacific teams with high-level competition and exposure to a diverse range of play, improving the standard of netball globally.
While successful in showcasing the skills, talents and athleticism of netballers from the Pacific, Australia, and beyond, the series also celebrates building connections through sport.
In bringing different netball nations together, the PacificAus Sports Netball Series provides athletes with a platform in which they can represent their culture.
