Turk praises local talent
He was referring to what he describes as a great exhibition of natural talent, flair and athleticism considering this was their first time.
"I got my very first experience of a Fijian team in April when they came down to Melbourne to compete in a championship involving New Zealand and Australia.
"I must say I was impressed with some of the athletes, Fiji unlike us have their own brand of netball and even the height elevation and speed of some of the players were very impressive.
"I guess that is why they have at this tournament given our teams very tough moments regardless of the score-line.
"Perhaps what they don't have that we have is the match experience and game skill which will come when they have played more tournaments.
"I believe that Fiji will be a very different team down the line.''
