[Stargazer]

Try Baker in referee's time.

FT: New Zealand 44 - 7 Scotland

Warm-up game. Nothing more. Scotland's debut game.

[Stargazer]

While we were sleeping .. the Black Ferns 7s also won their remaining poolgames: 31 - 0 against Russia and 27 - 14 against England.

The Ferns will play the Cup QF against China, who've made the Cup QF for the first time.
Kick of is on Sunday, 10:06pm NZT.

And this is hilarious!

[Stargazer]

The game has barely started and Blyde has already scored the first try! 7 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

And another one for Blyde! 14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now a try for Alena Saili. This is going fast.

HT: NZ 19 - 0 China

[Stargazer]

And it's a hat-trick for Blyde!

26 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try for Te Tamaki! I feel sorry for China. Sort of. They've hardly touched the ball.

31 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now Ruby Tui gets her try.

36 - 0 NZ. That's the full time score. Through to the SF.

[Stargazer]

Wow, Australia lost the Cup QF to Spain! (14 - 15)

NZ will play Canada - never an easy opponent - in the SF. Kick-off 1.13am.

The other SF is between Spain and the USA.

[Stargazer]

This is Sarah Hirini's 200th World Series game; the first woman to reach 200th games.

[Stargazer]

Very patient build-up from the BFs; try Saili.

7 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Hot knife through butter. That's what Nathan-Wong was to the Canadian defence. Great try.

14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

After playing for more than a minute with 6 players - Williams being treated for an injury - the Ferns can no longer stop the Canadians from scoring.

HT: NZ 14 - 7 Canada

[Stargazer]

I love how calm these players are. Just keep on passing and tackling, patiently looking around for that space.

Try Tui.

21 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Good try for Canada, but Nathan-Wong forces the Canadian player to dot down in the corner. Result: missed conversion.

21 - 12 NZ

Final play.

[Stargazer]

FT: New Zealand 21 - 12 Canada

The Black Ferns 7s will play the USA in the final at 4.00am.

[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

The Black Ferns 7s didn't win the tournament - going down 10 - 26 to the USA in the Final - but they are the 2019 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series Champions after winning 4 of the 6 legs of the Series and finishing 2nd in the last tournament. Well done, ladies!
