Didn't watch the first half, becasue I knew it was going to be a massacre, but it's even worse than I thought.

At half time, the Black Ferns Dev team are leading 62 - 0 over PNG.

[Stargazer]

The stream has stopped since the 45th minute. In those 5 minutes, the BFs had already scored two more tries. It will be interesting to see the score when the stream is restored.

[Stargazer]

Geez, 11 minutes later (56th minute) and it's 88 - 0.

[Stargazer]

65th minute and we have a hundy.

[Stargazer]

Full time: New Zealand A 131 - 0 Papua New Guinea Palais (21 tries to nil)

It's not even possible to call this game an opposed training run, as there wasn't much opposition. It was like watching 15 black steamrollers flattening 15 yellow ants.

[Stargazer]

At first, I thought it was a great idea to let the Black Ferns Dev team participate in this tournament, but how much can they have possibly learned from 53 - 0, 50 - 0 and 131 - 0 wins? Maybe they should send an U20s BFs squad next year?

Without having seen the fixture I'm picking there were more security staff on duty than spectators. You might be pushing to include the ticket sellers and gate keepers as that would probably have increase the attendance by precisely nil had they been included. Counting the subs controller, ball boys and reserve referee might have seen the number of heads present exceed single figures. Honestly who could get any thrill out of watching live an encounter between the NZ Womens 2nd XV and Papua New Guinea on a mid week day time slot?

[Stargazer]

Don't think there was any doubt ...
