She said it was a pleasing first up effort but there are plenty of things for the Silver Ferns to work on ahead of the second test.<\/p>\n
“We just went out there and did our best, but we can lift it to a whole other level. Lots of mistakes and a lot of learnings (sic) to take into the next game,” Salmon said.<\/p>\n
“Just the finishing touches, balls that went out of court, little mistakes. We’ll come together and figure out where we need to improve for the next game.”<\/p>\n
The test was New Zealand’s first in Scotland since the 2014 Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n
The Silver Ferns second and final test against Scotland is on Wednesday morning (NZT) at the same venue.<\/p>\n
New Zealand then take on England in a three-test series starting in London on Sunday.<\/p>\n
