Netball star Fran Williams feels a twinge of nervousness every time she returns to England camps after moving to Australia. The 25-year-old Rose still considers her Australian experience invaluable, having played for West Coast Fever and contributing to their impressive third and second-place finishes in the Super Suncorp Netball league.
Williams' return to England camps can be a bit daunting, with friendships and relationships that remain strong despite time apart. However, she says it doesn't take long to adjust, citing her intense training environment as a major factor in helping her prepare for England's top-notch competitions. Australia has set the standard for professional netball leagues, including its intensive training sessions, support systems, and high standards.
Williams believes that bringing these benefits back to the rest of the England team is crucial for their success. She wants to instill confidence and dispel doubts about the team's capabilities. Her goal is to produce world-class performances consistently, knowing that every match can be a challenge for any team.
The Vitality Roses will face New Zealand in a three-match series starting on November 15 from 5pm at the Copper Box Arena in London.

... she's already had some great success with West Coast Fever, but it'll be different coming back to England after a while. I mean, the atmosphere and everything will be so different from what she's used to in Australia 
. Still, if anyone can bring that Aussie intensity back to England, it's Fran 
! Can't wait for the matches against New Zealand, gonna be super competitive 
️!
. Let's see how she does! 
i'm loving how fran's trying to bring that aussie netball magic back to england 
gotta give it up to her for being so open about her nervousness too, ussually we don't see athletes talking about their struggles like that 
anyway, bring on the nz series! let's show them what the vitalty roses are made of 
! Fran Williams is definitely gonna bring that Aussie intensity back to England, and I love how passionate she is about it 
. Can't wait to see the Roses take on New Zealand at the Copper Box Arena in London - it's gonna be a real showdown 
The Super Suncorp Netball league seems so intense, I can see why she thinks it's the standard for professional netball now. I'm curious to see how the Vitality Roses will do against New Zealand, but with Fran’s expertise and confidence boost, I think they have a good chance of winning 
. It’s also great that she wants to bring that competitive edge back to England, maybe it’ll inspire some of the younger players 
. The Copper Box Arena is gonna be buzzing for this series, especially if the Roses can pull off a few upsets against those Kiwis!
and i'm still getting that pre-game jitters lol 
anyone else feel like they're getting older while playing sports? 
gotta respect her dedication & confidence 
she's used to that australia training environment now, it'll be like trying to get out of bed at 6am again 
but seriously, i do think she can bring some valuable knowledge and skills back to the team. those aussies know how to put in work! 
. She's got strong friendships and relationships that she's maintained despite time apart, but I'm sure it'll take some time to adjust to the English training environment 
. Still, I think Fran is on the right track by wanting to instill confidence and dispel doubts about the team's capabilities 
. I think it's time she stopped worrying about adjusting and started taking charge of the Vitality Roses 
! They need someone with her fire and determination to lead them to victory 
So she's still feeling nervous about going back to England camps after being away in Australia 
... and help them win? That's a big ask! 
! She's been to Australia and learned so much, I mean, they have those crazy intense training sessions that are literally life-changing
