LIVE: Black Ferns vs Wales, Rugby World Cup (1 News)

Join 1News for live coverage of this afternoon's Rugby World Cup pool match between the Black Ferns and Wales at Waitākere Stadium in Auckland.

Welsh lineout 10m from halfway which they win and gain a penalty from as the Black Ferns find themselves offside. Wales earn another penalty and again they kick for the corner. Chelsea Bremner gets the meat pie and after a tight start to the contest, the Black Ferns finally forge a lead. The attack looks to continue but a forward pass ends it so we come back for the penalty. The ball stays with the forwards for a few phases and eventually the Welsh armour cracks. Wales go short with the restart and are punished as the Black Ferns again get easy metres up to halfway. The ball gets to Woodman on halfway and she steps her way into the backfield. Wales kick for touch with it and get a lineout 10m inside the NZ half. Ponsonby makes the break off the restart and offloads to Reynolds. It comes back to the middle of the field and the Black Ferns are into the Welsh half. Welsh with one last chance to strike off a scrum 10m inside the NZ half. After Wales go deep on the restart the ball comes wide to the left and with the space NZ are back in the Welsh half.

Black Ferns start slow, finish strong to smash Wales (Otago Daily Times)

Starting slow and finishing fast has been the story of the Black Ferns' opening two games of their World Cup campaign. In their opener against Australia, they ...

Wales spent a considerable period of the second half inside opposition territory, and while they only managed to crack the line once – through a late lineout drive - it will be concerning for the Black Ferns as they look toward the knockout stages. Woodman was in the thick of the action moments later, this time in the middle of the park and breaking away from the defence.
