Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander understands how important it is for her players to get the weekend of Australian sporting dominance over New Zealand off to a flyer as they look to wrap up the Constellation Cup in Perth on Friday.  
With the Wallabies' World Cup final clash against the All Blacks on Sunday morning AEDT at the forefront of most sporting fans' minds, a current team of world champions will be looking to reaffirm their dominance over the Silver Ferns after their own World Cup glory in   August. 
Captain Laura Geitz returns for the Diamonds, partly to cover injuries to Caitlin Bassett (foot soreness) and Renae Ingles (calf), but also to bolster a squad who went down 50-47 in game three in Melbourne on Sunday. 
With Australia leading the series 2-1 with one to play, Alexander said the Diamonds and Michael Cheika's troops would be after the same thing this weekend - Kiwi punishment. 
"Absolutely, we understand our national responsibility is to give the best karma possible to the Wallabies," Alexander said. "[Wallabies captain] Stephen Moore is a very big supporter of us, he's spent time with us at training. 
"We're very keen for the Wallabies to do well and we want them to get a win. We want three Aussie World Cup victories - cricket, rugby and netball. I think we'd be celebrating for a long time [if that happened]." 
Australia have dominated New Zealand for the better part of the series so far, but an out of character showing in the second half in Melbourne - in which the Diamonds were outscored by 10 goals - does not worry Alexander. 
The short turnaround from game two in Auckland, as well as having a more unsettled starting seven than their Kiwi rivals are two of many explanations that have been put forward after the Diamonds' shock loss. 
Alexander said those theories were nothing but excuses as she tries to remind her players if they execute their plans, they should retain the trophy for the third consecutive year. 
Alexander also said the addition of Geitz would be a morale booster for the squad, and her Perth inclusion was "always part of the plan". 
"They're putting their most experienced line-up out there that they've got at this stage and many of them might retire from international netball on Friday night, so we have to be on our A-plus, -plus game," Alexander said. "Laura is the captain of our team, so you can't underestimate that and the leadership she provides is second to none. She's so well respected in the sporting community, so it's fantastic to have her back."
