Correct call.

Anyway gotta go, yellow for maul infringment vs BF 8. Canada lineout 5m...

I hope the BFs can pull finger!

Another Canadian line-out, another maul ... NZ turn over. Phew.

@Stargazer how did Canada NOT score that??

NZ scrum on NZ 5m.

Liana Mikaele-Tu’u replaces Tafito Lafaele.

NZ line-out just outside our 22.

@NTA I think Maia Roos stole the ball!

Pressure BFs and the Canadian player drops the ball. NZ scrum in Canada's half.

Ah bugger, that attack looked good, but the BFs can't finish it.

I'm starting to think that Ayesha Leti-I’iga would be a better centre than wing, btw. Maybe put a faster player on the left wing.

100% Agree

Robins-Reti slipped on the field, and still down. Hopefully not a bad injury. She looked good at the back.

Change of BFs halfbacks.

She's staying on the field for now.

BFs going for a line-out on Canada's 5m.

That's a well worked set piece try.

Yes, great try to Maia Roos. Amy Rule came close, Roos finished it.

16 - 0 BFs

Tubic and Cocksedge both off the field, so Demant with the kicking duties. She misses.

Sub: Renee Wickliffe replaces Robins-Reti. Good decision. No point risking it.

The whole bench is on the field now.

Oh, I forgot Chelsea Bremner , who's now coming on for Ngan-Woo.

Some players are a bit too keen, and therefore making mistakes.

Good to see our defence tested a bit, now.

BFs doing a good job thus far; the Canadians gain few metres.

Maia Roos down. Injured or cramp?

She is limping off the field. Looks like her ankle.

Edit: I shouldn't listen to the commentators. They now think she's still on the field.

Ferns have turned the ball over, but Canadians knock on.

Du Plessis having cramp again.

What did the former BF/commentator say? Pickle juice (against cramp)? What the heck is that?

Edit: just googled it. It actually exists!

Holy moly what a run from Ayesha Leti-I’iga! Stopped just before the try line.

Try Chelsea Bremner.

Demant converts the try.

BFs lead 23 - 0. Five minutes to go.

Nobody can stop TUI!

What a try! Great break from Du Plessis, great pass to Tui, who steps the defender and outruns another.

Wow! Awesome!

Demant misses the conversion. Should have been an easy one.

28 - 0 BFs.

Two minutes to go.

Yeah like powerade on steroids. Strong stuff

Ayesha Leti-I’iga has been named Player of the Match.

One more Canadian attack. The hooter has gone.

Canada, like Australia earlier, guilty of poor execution when it really matters. Lineout gone to shit

Tui kicks the ball out and it's over. Much better game. Excellent win.

Still plenty to work on, but the improvements are visible.

FT: Black Ferns 28 - 0 Canada

That donut for Canada is significant.

Enjoyable watch.

Must admit, I don't have Saprk so haven't seen game. last weeks was FTA a couple of hours later. Pleased they went ok!

@Dan54 If you know how to use a VPN, you can watch the games on World Rugby's YouTube channel. I've posted the link to today's game in this thread.

@Stargazer Cheers, son in law set up my tv so I can use VPN

Some brief highlights (terrible editing though, and Stevenson has a touch of Nisbo).

Leti-I’iga really butchered a try in the 1st half.

She made upon for it tho, other times

Nice to have a bit of pace out wide with Tui. Better first half than the match against Oz. Forwards worked better together and with a bit more urgency in their play. Liked our 1st 5.

Good win.

Also watched the condensed version of the Oz v USA game and congrats to the US. Thought they played with a bit of endeavour. Oz made way too many mistakes and defended on their heels. Massive win for USA.
