The Silver Ferns start their defence of the Netball World Championships tomorrow night.

Their campaign to retain the trophy is the last chance this year for a New Zealand side to win a major world sporting tournament after the Black Caps, Team New Zealand and All Blacks all fell by the wayside during the year.
