    Full time: Black Ferns 21 - 29 England

    Deserved win for England, who looked bigger, better and stronger.

    Good lesson for the Ferns, who've got a list of work-ons. England may take the top ranking. The Ferns will be better for it during the World Cup. If the NZ coaches do their job.

    From a purely NZ perspective it wasn't good - however, as I said - rather take the loss now than in the WC, Such a lot of work-ons. Our basic skills need to improve. A lot. Surely must be a huge lesson in terms of how to defend a rolling maul and how to keep possession for long periods - and use it well. We can't keep on relying on x-factor players to get us through. Simply not good enough. Need to do better at this level.

    WRWC: Past winners - NZ tournament results

    1991: USA - NZ finished 4th
    1994: England - NZ did not participate because the tournament wasn't officially endorsed by the then IRB & NZR refused to pay team expenses for that reason
    1998: NZ
    2002: NZ
    2006: NZ
    2010: NZ
    2014: England - NZ finished 5th (note that they only finished this low because of one lost pool game!)

    @Bovidae I'm a bit surprised, too. Before the final game of the June Series v England, she said that it was her last game on home soil, because she's retiring from international rugby for family reasons. I concluded from that that she would still be available for the WRWC.

    By the way, this is a nice interview with her:

    Only 10 days until the World Cup!

    Sad news for lock/loose forward Rawinia Everitt, who suffered a possibly career-ending back injury; she has been replaced in the squad by Auckland's Charlene Gubb.

    Also, this is Black Ferns captain Fiao'o Fa'amausili's 5th World Cup; impressive!

    Ferns trying a lot of offloading to big girls crashing in close. It's not being executed well yet but watch out when one works.

    Poor ref. He gets a little screen at one end of the ground and the TMO peeps up a potential deliberate knock on (never even close) and the ref has to run all the way to the other end to watch

    Ouch. Sustained period from Wales comes up empty. NZ gets ball back and a try 15 in from the left for Wickliffe

    Another poor kick from this side and its 15-0

    Wickliffe gets another on HT with an intercept. Wales backs are too sluggish in their handling and the Ferns are getting right up on them.

    Same side of field same missed conversions.

    20-0 HT

    Left 8 points out there.

    For NZ Sky have all the rights and WR can't stream anything even if Sky aren't showing it live.

    VPNs may be your friend unless WR has identified use and blocked them
