Her first test cap is in front of a home crowd

Northland's Anna Thorpe is thrilled to be making her Black Sticks test debut in front of a home crowd tomorrow night against the No2 ranked team in the world Argentina.
"It's funny though - it's my first cap and it's great to be at home as there is so much support - but there's also a lot of pressure to perform on your home turf," she said.
The Maungakaramea player has been named in a squad of 25 from which 18 will be chosen for each of the three tests against Argentina alongside fellow Northland products Stacey Michelsen, Sam Harrison, Ella Gunson, Charlotte Harrison, and Jasmin McQuinn - a huge boost  for hockey in the region.
Alana Millington who has been capped five times for the Black Sticks was ruled out of the series due to a back injury.
Tomorrow's match and Saturday's test will be played at Rosvall ITM Stadium, followed by a third test at Pukekohe.
While the Northland contingent stepped up for the warm-up series against an under-strength India team at Nelson and Christchurch which they won 3-0, the test against Argentina will be the first test cap for Thorpe, Michelsen, Gunson and Sam Harrison - while it would be cap number 58 for Charlotte Harrison and McQuinn's third cap.
At 25, Thorpe is one of the older players in a very youthful team - the average age is 21. However, age has not factored into team dynamics.
"They are fantastic - everyone is so nice and supportive and there's a real feeling everyone is together. I've grown up with these girls [Northland players] so it's really great."
Australian Mark Hager has taken over the Black Sticks' reins this year and has proven a hit with the girls who have worked hard at their structure and game plans under his guidance.
"We've been working a lot on ball retention and our set play," Thorpe, a midfielder said. "We have to try squeezing the defence and put more pressure on the Argentinians and get more outcomes in the attacking circle - whether it is a goal shot or penalty corner."
Hager has told his young players to "back themselves" against some of the world's best and to continue playing fearlessly whatever the opposition.
With the likes of five times World Hockey player of the year Luciana Aymar in the Argentinian midfield, Hager saw the series as a prime opportunity for his young players.
Aymar who last won the title in 2008, has played an amazing 250 games for Argentina.
Argentina are fresh from playing in the Spar Cup in South Africa, where they finished second behind Australia and Aymar was named player of the tournament.
For Thorpe, it is an opportunity of a lifetime to play for New Zealand - in front of close friends, her parents and partner Matt and his family, and it not one she is taking lightly.
When she hits the turf for the first time, she wants to be focused on the job ahead.
"I'm nervous but excited," she said about her debut.
"But I want to be focused on what I have to do out there and want to achieve.
"I want to step up for the game as it will be a higher level than the Indian series - the Argentinians have the world's best player - it's a privilege to play against her," she said.
Several experienced Black Sticks not available for the Indian series will bolster the squad to meet Argentina and China. They include attacker Kayla Sharland who is closing in on 100 caps, striker Honor Dillon and defender Kate Saunders.
Canterbury defender/midfielder Stacey Carr will play her 100th game for NZ during the series.
Tomorrow's match gets under way at Rosvall ITM Stadium from 7pm, while Saturday's game is at 4pm.
Following the Argentina test series, the Black Sticks will play China.
