Great stuff. Well done Ray and Kirsten. Good luck.

Wow! Tayla over Selina. Big call.

Congratulations on your selection Debbie, well done. And to all the team go my very best wishes for an enjoyable and successful championship.

Ahh makes sense- Selina Goddard! What big events have you won as Selina Smith in the last 12-24 months? That’s right, just the Centre Pairs last weekend as you’ve only had the name for two weeks. Your playing record slate must get wiped clean when you get married and change names 🤷‍♀️🤯 you could have just got married after the World Champs 🙄🤔

Good work bowls New Zealand, cutting your most consistent New Zealand based player. I’m assuming to save money because she needs a new shirt????

Congrats to you all good luck and above all enjoy the experience

Congratulations Tayla, well deserved

Great mens team for World Bowls.Cannot believe Selina didn’t make the ladies team

Good to see your name there Debs congratulations 🍷

Good luck team NZ 😍

Well done Debz and Tayla go well💖

Wow was the first comment on this page regarding selection of the nz world bowls squad with a particular mention of selina Goddard being omitted from the squad and if skoggy really has been paying particular attention to the last 12 /24 months he must of had one eye shut. Goddard in the last 6 years has won 3 national titles, has 2 runner's up and 3 third positions you simply don't get to those positions without a lot of hard work and dedication, yet it's not good enough to be selected. There's something wrong here something isn't adding up there has to be a underlining reason of non selection and it's beginning to stand up like a stick in shit regardless of any rehorick from bnz and their processes. It simply makes no sense does it bnz so who is it? what's the real reason?who's the one taking no interest in any of selina Goddard results and why?

Great news tayla..congratulations

2017 - National singles Gold 2017 - World Ch of Ch bronze medal (Aussie) 2018 - National Fours Silver 2018 - National Intercentre Bronze 2019 - Bowls NZ Summer of Bowls event - royal oak triples Gold 2019 - National Pairs Bronze 2019 - National Singles Silver 2019 - National Bowls35 Gold 2019 - Multi Nations Triples Bronze 2019 - Multi Nations Fours Bronze 2019 - Bowls NZ summer of bowls event - Nelson Singles Gold 2019 - Auckland Premier Singles Gold 2020 - Nationals Pairs Gold And this doesn’t include her truck load of Centre-level achievement too. I would say it is a 12-24 month period that is pretty much unrivalled.

Very cool Debbie White Well deserved 👏

Where is Goddard? Wasn't she one of the elite atheletes this last year or have I missed something? Don't lose heart Selina, you're at the top of your game no matter who is selecting, quite aside from the fact you're a great ambassador for the future of Bowls NZ - end of story.

I think it was jinxed on day one after the men won and something was mentioned about the 11 year drought might be broken.

Good games to watch, pity the link had hiccups. Great watching McIlroy v Wilson singles head to head......well done K1w1's

They can all hold their heads high some very close games that could of gone either way - look out Worlds here we come 😁

Sorry NZ but Aussie had this all the way from the second session Their wins were by big margins. Congratulations Aussie. NZ you can take this next time. Hopefully not as windy next time.
