Sarah Hirini ended up with multiple facial fractures from the final.

Pretty epic to then be involved with the break that led to the winning try.

That sequence was unbelievable and seemed to last for ages. The pressure must have been immense, Canada's defensive tried to choke us into a mistake like they did to Aussie. But we threw the ball around, recycled without turning the ball over, and finally broke through

What an absolute legend and that ref can get fucked.

@Bovidae At our tennis club working bee today I was looking at the murals on the rugby club area. The best was a black jersey with Hirini 5 on it. I remarked on the foresight of the artist, choosing someone who was now a world legend.

One of the things I have enjoyed most about the BF7s is Waaka, and she is almost always grinning ear to ear - and still owning the plays.

Love seeing smart NZ halves/playmakers get her 1 on 1 in a major final and then watching her turn on the jets and blast by whoever on the outside.
