It has been a great first week back with the Australian team together for the first time since the Olympics. It’s good to see some fresh new faces in the team, with five players making their debut. It is also a little bit strange being with the Australian team without some of the newly retired players, some who had been in the team for the last 10 years.  The team is together in Perth for a weeks camp prior to four games against the Dutch.

The week, so far, has been pretty tough coming off a bit of a break over Christmas, but now we are well and truly in the swing of things. New coaches Ric Charlesworth and Graham Reid have been putting us through our paces this week, we still have a lot to learn before our first game!

Everyone is very much looking forward to playing in the Australian colours again, particularly in a home series.

I’ll keep you updated for the upcoming games.
