The Silver Ferns remain unbeaten at the Netball World Cup in Liverpool, beating Northern Ireland 77-28.

With five games in five days, and five wins under their belt, the Silver Ferns have a day off before meeting Australia in their last Preliminary Stage Two match on Thursday.

The match will determine seedings for the semi-finals.

With one eye on the game against Australia, the Silver Ferns were left with plenty to ponder after a clinical opening half was undone by a messy finish, Northern Ireland competing gamely to leave Coach Noeline Taurua not entirely happy with the game.
