Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Proteas head coach Norma Plummer says there was a lot of learnings following their first Netball World Cup defeat against Jamaica on Sunday.<\/p>\n

South Africa were outclassed by a ruthless and agile Jamaican outfit as they lost 67-49.<\/p>\n

The loss saw South Africa finish second in Pool C behind the Caribbean outfit. Meaning that the hosts are now grouped in Pool G2.<\/p>\n

The Proteas will now take on Trinidad and Tobago (Monday), defending champions New Zealand (Wednesday) and Uganda (Thursday).<\/p>\n

Plummer acknowledged that Jamaica was too good from start to finish.<\/p>\n

“You see what happens when you have an opposition that plays in the Australian Super League compared to when you’re not playing in that league,” Plummer told reporters on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“The intensity and ability that they have together as a group… You’ve got a class act there. I knew from the start that it was going to be a hurdle and it was going to be harder to get over this stage.”<\/p>\n

The Proteas came from a 61-50 win against Wales and an 87-32 win against Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Plummer says there were some positives on Sunday but was disappointed in the Proteas’ inability to successfully complete their passes.<\/p>\n

“The last two games we played against teams that were ranked lower than us, you’ve got to put that into perspective,” said Plummer.<\/p>\n

“It was good to get all the players out on court, but you knew the intensity was going to lift up 10 fold by playing Jamaica.<\/p>\n

“These are the things you learn and all the players got out on court. In that third quarter, we just wasted a lot of the ball, which was disappointing.<\/p>\n

“Placement of the passes that’s what wins games, you can’t just be passing and the placement is not there. But that’s a learning factor. Some of these players will get better and better.”<\/p>\n

Plummer believes that the fourth-ranked Jamaica will give other teams a run for their money.<\/p>\n

“Generally, some of our players have had their lessons in how to have intensity and keep going,” said Plummer.<\/p>\n

“You’re looking at a team that were silver medallists at the Commonwealth Games, I reckon they’re primed and give everyone a run for their money.”<\/p>\n

The Proteas play Trinidad and Tobago on Monday at 18:00.<\/p>\n
