WWC: Spanish fly as Opals run out of puff

WWC: Opals need to Reid the room against Italy
FINGERS (and toes for the ambidextrous) crossed Alanna Smith has the all-clear to resume for Australia against Italy in its overnight KO quarter-final qualifier and that Opals coach Sandy Brondello shows no fear and takes a few risks to stay alive at the FIBA Women's World Cup in Berlin.
