<p>After crushing Brasil 41-0 in the QF, New Zealand have just been beaten by a very strong looking Canada in the SF. All damage was done after Kayla McAlister was off (temporarily) with what looked like an injury and before Portia Woodman came on.</p>
</p>
<p>Canada looked very strong, both in attack and defence. Deserved winners, although with a bit of help from the ref.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FT: 19-10 to Canada</p>
<p> </p>
<p>New Zealand will play the USA for 3rd place at 10.16am.</p>
<p>After that, the final between Australia and Canda.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Livestream is here:</p>

Canada were pretty slick I thought. Competed well at the collisions and had some good individual play. <br><br>
Not sure if they can beat the Aussie team, but the conditions could level things out. -

<p>NZ squad named for Vegas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SBW rested - seems a bit strange. Would much rather Collier was 'rested'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interested to see how the two young Counties boys go.</p>

Shocking! Kenya beat Nz 22-0 and it was by far the worst I've ever seen from Nz 7's. Real lack of effort and lack of skills and got outmuscled. <br><br><br>
