Australia defeated England 66-47 in a netball clash at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with shooter Sophie Garbin scoring 41 goals from 42 attempts.

The match renewed netball's major rivalry eight years after England's dramatic last-gasp victory over Australia on the Gold Coast. However, there was no repeat of that result for the defending champions as they comfortably dispatched the Roses.

Following the heavy defeat, England captain Fran Williams admitted that her team fell "far from our best" against the defending Commonwealth champions.
