The final Under 21 national netball team to play in a tournament coinciding with the Pacific Series in June will be selected on Saturday.

Coach Moape Vu says he will be looking at player fitness and the readiness of the players to determine his final 20.

One player who stands out so far in the squad is overseas-based rep, Koila Tabete.

“We could see the strength that she had got and the skills of understanding the game and her team-mates. And the high standard shown by other players just tells us the amount of competition the players are exposing.”

Vu adds Koila will face a lot of competition to find a place in the team.

20 players will be selected from the current 35-member squad at the National Netball Center in Laucala Bay.
