The New Zealand men's netball invitation team's most imposing figure is looking forward to terrorising one of his idols in tonight's match with the Silver Ferns

27 June 2019

Men's shooter Junior Levi stands a mammoth 218 centimetres or 7 feet one inch tall and will challenge the Silver Ferns defensive options of Casey Kopua, Jane Watson, Phoenix Karaka and Michaela Sokolich-Beatson.

Levi says there's one player in particular he's looking forward to sharing the court with.

He says he's keen to play and meet Kopua and look to push her around a bit.

Centre pass from Auckland's at 8pm after Fiji face the ANZ Premiership All Stars at 6pm.
