    Less than 10 minutes played, and both teams have already scored a try. BFs lead 7 - 5

    First try scored by Demant; the Aussie try scored by Aussie 7s speedster Mahalia Murphy.

    I started watching via the spidercam channell (ch 50), but while it gives some beautiful views of the scrum, line-out etc, it generally moves too slowly to my liking. I've moved back to SS1.

    Interesting to see that it is the Aussie left winger, who is taking their kicks at goal.

    BFs captain Les Elder off injured.

    Half time: NZ 17 - 8 AUS

    Wondeful try Black Ferns. Length of the field attack very impressive.

    @KiwiMurph I just missed that! Was that the rookie, Grace Brooker?

    Australia was competitive for parts of the game, but just couldn't break the Ferns' defence. NZ definitely had a much better bench.

    2019 has been a good year for the Ferns. Six tests, one loss to France (after a short turnaround of 4 days) and 5 wins. Firmly at the top of the World rankings.

    From the ARU website:

    Major boost to Wallaroos fixture list
    
    The Wallaroos will play the top five rugby nations in the world next year in an outstanding preparation for the women's World Cup in 2021.
    
    The arrival of England and France on our shores next November, on their way back from a tour of New Zealand, will be the cherry on top of a new annual tournament involving the US, Canada, Australia and the Black Ferns.
    
    That annual four nations tournament is set to propel the Wallabies [I assume they mean Wallaroos] from a team full of part-time players with potential, to a competitive unit regularly playing the best nations in the world.
    

    I haven't found anything about this on allblacks dot com, or the websites of the other countries mentioned. Interesting to read that England and France will tour New Zealand in November next year. I wonder whether this new four nations tournament will replace the Super Series? Nothing lost if England and France keep on touring NZ every year (or NZ touring these countries), but if the new tournament means for the future that we don't play England and France annually, that wouldn't be a good development. England and France are the Black Ferns' strongest rivals.

    Great news. Moore has been excellent!

    Black Ferns Head Coach Glenn Moore will lead the team through to the 2021 Rugby World Cup, New Zealand Rugby announced today.
    
    For the first time the Black Ferns Head Coach role will be full time, and Moore will be charged with leading the on-field programme through to the end of 2021.
    
    “He’s been instrumental in developing the culture of the Black Ferns and steering the team into the semi-professional era. We’re really pleased to have Glenn on board as we navigate this new and exciting time for women’s rugby. He brings stability to our programme during a period of rapid growth and when we have a massive challenge ahead of us in hosting a Rugby World Cup.”
    
    Sexton said aside from coaching the top team, Moore’s role would also include a focus on talent identification. All Provincial Unions now deliver Black Ferns high performance programmes alongside their Mitre 10 Cup programmes ensuring contracted Black Ferns and wider squad members have full access to trainers and facilities, specialist skill development, strength and conditioning, physiotherapy, nutrition advice and player development management.
    
     Moore said the next two years would be especially significant as he builds the team towards the 2021 Rugby World Cup.
    
    About Glenn Moore
    Moore was first appointed Head Coach of the Black Ferns at the end of 2015 and has an enviable coaching record with the Black Ferns including a 2017 Rugby World Cup title and 23 wins from 26 matches.
    
    He took up the Black Ferns role after a season as Assistant Coach for the Blues in Investec Super Rugby and has extensive coaching experience at provincial, and national level.
    
    A former first-class player, with Mid-Canterbury (1986-92), he started coaching with North Otago in 2000. After six seasons – which included three years as Head Coach of the Divisional XV (now known as Heartland XV) he moved on to a role as Defence Coach and Assistant Coach with the Highlanders for the 2007 season. Moore became Head Coach for the Highlanders from 2008 to 2010. In 2013, Moore returned to his roots and guided Mid Canterbury’s Meads Cup-winning campaigns in the Heartland Championship.
    
    Moore joined the Black Ferns ahead of the 2015 International Super Series and led the team to their fifth World Cup title in 2017.
    
    Later that year he was named New Zealand Rugby’s Coach of the Year and the Black Ferns were awarded Team of the Year.

    Shakira puts her heart on the line

    Shakira puts her heart on the line

    Whenever Black Ferns Sevens veteran Shakira Baker runs onto the rugby field, there’s a defibrillator on the sideline with her name on it. Just in case.
