South African born Silver Ferns defender Karin Burger is about to realise a dream when the Netball World Cup starts tonight.
Burger moved to New Zealand when she was 18 and started at club level before eventually making her way through the ranks.
South Africa is hosting the cup for the first time, which means the 30-year-old will have her family and friends in the stands.
Karin Burger told sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe it's special being at home.
The Silver Ferns meet Trinidad and Tobago at 7 tonight.
