    The Silver Ferns physio is backing the ANZ Premiership umpires in their policing of dangerous contact

    World Netball this year introduced stricter rules around head and neck contact.

    Ferns physio Sharon Kearney says Pulse midcourter Whitney Souness' concussion in June against the Southern Steel is the competition's lone head knock.
