England Roses' international schedule for end of 2018

After their historic gold at the Commonwealth Games, the Roses will be out to showcase their unity, skills and class on the world stage once again as preparations for the Netball World Cup 2019 intensify.

Here’s your guide to their upcoming fixtures…

Quad Series (away)

The Roses secured their best-ever finish in the Netball Quad Series earlier this year and will be looking to build upon their momentum from winning a historic gold at the Commonwealth Games when they travel to New Zealand and then Australia in September.

Tracey Neville’s side will begin their campaign against the New Zealand Silver Ferns, who they’ve enjoyed considerable success against in recent meetings.

Fans will then be treated to a repeat of the Commonwealth Games final as the Roses face the Samsung Australian Diamonds, hoping to inflict a second successive defeat on their patch, before they take on South Africa SPAR Proteas.
