At just 28-years-old, Tokoroa-born shooting star Maria Tutaia is set to bring up her 100th international Test cap for the Silver Ferns.

The 1.88m goal attack has been a huge part of the Silver Ferns' success over the last 10 years since her debut for New Zealand in 2005.

The Silver Ferns take on Uganda in their final Netball World Cup qualification round match tonight and while Tutaia is expected to rest for the semi-finals on Saturday, she got emotional talking about the milestone.

"It's something that has been a long time coming. I'm just so proud and humbled and honoured," Tutaia said.
