[Stargazer]

Didn't watch the game, but the Black Ferns 7s smashed Brazil 51 - 0 this morning.

England, our next opponent, lost to Fiji (14 - 24).

[Stargazer]

Convincing win from the Black Ferns 7s over England: 22 - 0.

The next game against Fiji should be a goodie.

[Stargazer]

Half time: NZ 12 - 7 Fiji

Tough first half, the BFs had a lot of defending to do against a Fijiana team on fire.

[Stargazer]

Woweeee, what a second half! Quality stuff, worthy of a final! No point scored in the second half, but boy, that was good!

NZ win their pool. Bot NZ and Fiji through to the Cup QF.

[Stargazer]

NZ to play England (again) in the QF at 5.26am tomorrow morning.

[Stargazer]

I didn't see the Cup QF and SF, but the BFs have made it to the Final in which they will, as expected, play Australia.

Cup QF: NZ 17 - 12 England
Cup SF: NZ 33 - 10 USA

The Final kicks off at 11.20am.
Live on Sky Sport pop-up 2.

[Stargazer]

Tuned in late, but it's 7 - 0 to the BFs with 3 and a half minutes to go in the 1st half.

[Stargazer]

Wow, now a great try to Ruby Tui! 12 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Geez, Williams is ferocious! Great turnover.

[Stargazer]

Now Brazier over after a quick tap. Penalty was for a high tackle on Tui.

17 - 0 NZ. First half almost over.

[Stargazer]

Bloody hell, this is brilliant. Aussies not releasing (again), quick tap Goss (?) and Woodman goes for a run.

Half time: NZ 22 - 0 Australia

[Stargazer]

Aussies not having their day. Kick out on the full from the kick-off.

[Stargazer]

Australian defence non-existent. Williams slices through the Aussie line and dots down. 27 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now they knock-on. NZ putting good pressure on the Aussies. They're on fire!

[Stargazer]

Now they're just toying with the Aussie girls. Behind the back pass from Blyde to Williams, who scores another try. It's a massacre.

34 - 0 with 2 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Aussies again not releasing. Goss is the Boss. Try!

Record being broken. Old record against Australia was 28 - 5. Now it's 39 - 0.

[Stargazer]

Brazier shows again she'd be good at football, too. Try after the hooter.

Black Ferns 7s win 46 - 0. That donut will taste good after what happened in Sydney! So dominant! Awesome!
