 * Comment - I'm not sure that "trying" is the best choice, as it implies that she wants it but not that she may earn it. "Vying" is the word the source uses, also "competing" or "eligible" are viable replacements. Or replace "is trying to represent" with "may possibly represent", or "is in competition to represent". "Trying" says nothing of her chances. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  23:13, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Fair point in comment above as she is named to a squad. They are just trimming players. --LauraHale (talk) 01:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
