The Silver Ferns shooting circle will have a new look to it for the rest of netball's Quad Series.

Veteran goal-attack Maria Tutaia has been granted bereavement leave and will miss New Zealand's final two tests against England and Australia.

Magic shooter Monica Falkner has been called into the squad as cover, while Maia Wilson partnered Bailey Mes at training today.

Coach Janine Southby said Tutaia's absence will be keenly felt.

"Maria certainly is a huge loss for us with the 108 tests that she carries and I thought she had a pretty good game on Saturday in Brisbane. So, we will miss her."

Defender Kayla Cullen trained in Auckland today as Kelly Jury was sidelined with an ankle injury.
