2018 Black Ferns

Stargazer

Oh, lucky. I thought for all money that it was a double movement, but the try has been awarded. Aldora Itunu.

The conversion attempt hits the post.

NZ leads 5 - 0

Stargazer

Pip Love scores from the pick and go. Dominant.

Cocksedge converts the try: 12 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Try Australia, scored by their no. 10.

The LH prop misses the conversion.

12 - 5 NZ

Stargazer

Try Eloise Blackwell. You could see that one coming. Ferns forwards very dominant and Aussies giving away penalty after penalty.

Difficult angle, but the conversion is good.

19 - 5 NZ after 23 minutes.

Stargazer

Weak last 10 minutes from the Ferns, but Wallaroos not taking their chances.

Stargazer

Prop Aldora Itunu off with a serious looking injury. Went down in the scrum and took a long time to get back up.

Kirwan

Prop Aldora Itunu off with a serious looking injury. Went down in the scrum and took a long time to get back up.

Never good when a prop grabs their neck after a collapsed scrum and doesn’t move. Least she was sitting up in the end

KiwiMurph

Aussie first five is having a blinder.

Stargazer

@kiwimurph Yeah, looking very good. Better than our first-five. We're missing Subritzky-Nafatali.

Stargazer

Try for the Aussies. Deserved. Now the left winger going for the conversion ... but misses.

19 - 10 NZ

That's the half time score.

KiwiMurph

Aussies hugely improved from last week. Wonder if this is a sign of things to come in the later game.

Black Ferns defence getting shown up a tad.

Stargazer

Awesome try from Fitzpatrick! Very good.

Stargazer

Cocksedge's kick is good. Ferns lead 26 - 10.

Stargazer

Aussie LH prop gets a yellow. The Aussies had that one coming. Too many penalties.

Stargazer

Great try from Cocksedge. Taking advantage of the one-player-more.

Stargazer

The conversion is good. 33 - 10 NZ

Stargazer

Try Renee Wickliffe in the corner?

Stargazer

Awarded. That was awesome.

KiwiMurph

Try Renee Wickliffe in the corner?

She is brilliant.

Stargazer

Not converted. Apparently, there's quite a bit of wind. Hope it doesn't pick up for the ABs game.

38 - 10 NZ
