However, in recent years, and largely credit to former Australian head coach Norma Plummer, who took over as coach of the Proteas from 2015 to 2019 and again in 2022 and 2023, SA have narrowed the score-line against the world&#8217;s top side and proven a challenge to the world champs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most notable efforts by SA were at the Quad Series in London in  2018, where the Diamonds beat the SPAR Proteas 54-50, along with the heartbreaking 55-53 loss in the 2019 netball World Cup semi-final in Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin Australian Diamonds head coach Stacey Marinkovich said: \u201cThe series against SA is a key part of our preparation as we build toward major campaigns like the Constellation Cup and, looking ahead, the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games and 2027 Netball World Cup in Sydney. Every match counts and we\u2019re excited to start that journey against the SPAR Proteas in Bendigo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The location of the second and third Australian vs South Africa test matches
