2018 Black Ferns

[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.

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.

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

[Stargazer]

It will be interesting to see how Alena Saili will develop as a XV's player. She's a contracted BF7s, but at only 18, she still has a lot of rugby ahead of her. She's 20 years younger than the captain Faamausili!

[Stargazer]

Try Winiata. Ferns now really leaving the Wallaroos behind. Another difficult kick for Cocksedge, but it's good!

45 - 10 NZ

[Stargazer]

That huge Aussie replacement prop goes over for the try.

Now the reserve halfback is going for the conversion and it's good.

45 - 17 NZ
