Stuff.co.nz reports giving Teuila Sotutu added motivation to make the final squad for next year's tournament will be the fact it will be contested in Fiji.

Hoskins Sotutu is playing for Auckland until the All Blacks squad assembles for the two Bledisloe Cup matches.

New Zealand is aiming to win a third straight Netball World Youth Cup title after claiming the crown in Botswana in 2017 and Scotland in 2013.
