    2002: NZ
    2006: NZ
    2010: NZ
    2014: England - NZ finished 5th (note that they only finished this low because of one lost pool game!)

    @Bovidae I'm a bit surprised, too. Before the final game of the June Series v England, she said that it was her last game on home soil, because she's retiring from international rugby for family reasons. I concluded from that that she would still be available for the WRWC.

    By the way, this is a nice interview with her:

    Only 10 days until the World Cup!

    Sad news for lock/loose forward Rawinia Everitt, who suffered a possibly career-ending back injury; she has been replaced in the squad by Auckland's Charlene Gubb.

    Also, this is Black Ferns captain Fiao'o Fa'amausili's 5th World Cup; impressive!

    Ferns trying a lot of offloading to big girls crashing in close. It's not being executed well yet but watch out when one works.

    Poor ref. He gets a little screen at one end of the ground and the TMO peeps up a potential deliberate knock on (never even close) and the ref has to run all the way to the other end to watch

    Ouch. Sustained period from Wales comes up empty. NZ gets ball back and a try 15 in from the left for Wickliffe

    Another poor kick from this side and its 15-0

    Wickliffe gets another on HT with an intercept. Wales backs are too sluggish in their handling and the Ferns are getting right up on them.

    Same side of field same missed conversions.

    20-0 HT

    Left 8 points out there.

    For NZ Sky have all the rights and WR can't stream anything even if Sky aren't showing it live.

    VPNs may be your friend unless WR has identified use and blocked them

    Winiata with a nice run and kick ahead, gets a shit bounce then an even rougher one when she goes to toe ahead. Lost opportunity.

    And just show what a weird thing the rugby ball is a loose pass is toed ahead by Brazier who gets another little kick that bounces straight up into her arms and she passes for Woodman to score.

    easier kick this time but still no conversions. Horror kicking display 0/5

    25-0 after 53 minutes
