Fiji Pearls coach Kate Carpenter said despite not winning a match in last month’s Australasian tour it was still a valuable preparation for the upcoming Pacific Games and World Cup.
The Pearls played two matches against the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic and one against the Melbourne Vixens ANZ Championship sides, as well as games against the Magic and Victoria development teams.
Carpenter said to be able to tour so soon after the Oceania series against New Zealand and Samoa was ideal.
She said the players stepped up got to understand what the expectation was.
She added the tour highlighted plenty of areas where the team can lift their performance.
