@Daffy-Jaffy @Stargazer Cheers heaps guys! I'll give it a bash.

@bones It's geo-blocked in NZ, but I understand it's streamed on World Rugby's YouTube channel.

Thus far, these are the results in the women's tournament:

Fiji 12 - 19 Spain
France 33 - 7 Japan
Russia 24 - 14 South Africa
Canada 43 - 19 Brazil
Australia 34 - 5 PNG

Now the Black Ferns v Mexico.

Stargazer

Great try from Woodman! 5 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Too easy, try Blyde. 10 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Ha, Goss with a little fend and she's through the Mexican defence. Converted by Nathan-Wong.

17 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Blyde, too fast. Another converted try.

Half time: New Zealand 24 - 0 Mexico

Stargazer

This is a massacre. Try Woodman.

31 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Tui with the line-out steal, and Brazier scores the next try. The conversion is good.

38 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

This is going even faster than in the 1st half. Now Waaka scoring a try.

45 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Goss stepping through the Mexican "defence".

52 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Ferns being bullies. Goss in, again.

57 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

And that's the full time score. 9 tries to 0.

It wasn't more than an opposed training run really. Nothing to be ashemed about for Mexico, who are newbies to the scene.

Stargazer

New Zealand will play the winner of England v Ireland at 12.30pm.

New Zealand will play the winner of England v Ireland at 12.30pm.

Eek

Stargazer

Half time: England 7 - 5 Ireland. Surprising first half, with most of the play in the England half.

Stargazer

Wow, it looks like this is going to be the first upset of the tournament. Ireland are leading 19 - 7.

Time's not up yet, about 2 and half minutes to go.

Stargazer

19 - 14 Ireland. Less than a minute to go.

Stargazer

And it IS the first upset of the tournament. England are out.

Ireland will be the Black Ferns' next opponent. They've been warned.

Final score: Ireland 19 - 14 England
