It was a proud, proud, proud mama moment, really.

No, I've got a lot of love for Abby.

Obviously, I show that whenever I commentate a little bit biased.

But, yeah, no, I mean, and we reflect on last year as well.

She did have a game like this last year early on.

I think it was against Bendigo where she blew up for over 30.

The thing that I want to see from Abby is consistency now, being able to back it up.

Do the UC Caps go in and win it?

What do you think of the performances without her, with Izzy Bourne having to step up as a starter?

Well, first of all, I'll back it up because, to be honest with you guys, when I sat down and went through the brackets and had a look at the pools prior to the start of this tournament, I thought, We're in for a really hard time.

That was before Alana Smith got injured.

And I thought that, you know, Sammy dropping out, Kayla pregnant, moving forward to a rebuild, that it was going to be tough, you know.

And honestly, my sentiment was, which I didn't really say to too many people, but we'll be lucky to make the, you know, I definitely didn't have us in a medal category.

You know, like I wasn't talking medals at all.

And my opinion was that if we could make a semifinal, that would be an absolute masterclass of coaching and playing.

I mean, she's the Lauren Jackson of Belgium.
