Coach Simone McKinnis insists consistency will be vital to the Melbourne Vixens cause against the NSW Swifts in their trans-Tasman netball league clash.The Melbourne side will focus on delivering four quality quarters when they face the Swifts, second in the Australia conference, for the third time in Sydney on Sunday.The last game we played (against the Swifts), we had three really good quarters and a poor (third) quarter. And that cost us, McKinnis told AAP on Thursday.The Vixens clinched a spot in the play-offs after an emphatic 66-53 victory over Central Pulse on Monday.McKinnis said her side was written off after going into the season without goal attack Tegan Philip and shooter Karyn Bailey.Given the injuries and the quality of players that we lost, throughout the season the focus was on other teams, she said.Weve been finding ourselves in really good form in the back end.We have the strength as a team to beat the best.NSW missed the chance to steal top spot they drew 59-all with the Southern Steel on Saturday.Coach Rob Wright said the Swifts had their own consistency issues to tackle.At times weve been outstanding and at times we drop away and that lets people back into the competition, he said.

A proposal by Queensland to host rugby unions first state of origin game in next years mid-season Super Rugby break is reportedly being considered by NSW.But the clash would likely be minus Australias best players, who would be on international duties during the June Test window.Administrators are concerned the code is losing momentum at a crucial time during the crowded winter sports schedule, when the provincial competition comes to a month-long halt.All of a sudden we come to a dead stop at a time when rival codes are building to the high point of their seasons, Queensland Rugby Union boss Richard Barker told News Corp Australia.Lets play a state of origin match at Ballymore. Its a rugby-owned ground, so rugby would get all the proceeds.The Waratahs are open to the concept, but chief executive Andrew Hore expressed a need to liaise with the Australian Rugby Union and Sydneys Shute Shield clubs.We applaud the initiiative and were certainly open for discussion, Hore told News Corp.ddddddddddddAn origin game does highlight the fact that the vast majority of professional rugby players in this country come from NSW and Queensland and sometimes it doesnt hurt to mention that.There is no question, too, that we are looking at the June window very carefully.Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson said the concept could have significant benefits for Australian rugby.The problem we need to solve in Australia is getting enough rugby, the New Zealander told Sky Sports Radio on Friday.Thats what the administrators are talking about - in that period where Super Rugby takes a break and the international games take over - is finding some really relevant that people will want to watch.Id be definitely one who would look at it.
