Try to Tenika Willison in referee's time.
Full time: NZ 43 - 0 Japan
Far from the perfect game, with many mistakes, particularly from the new girls. Japan too weak to benefit from the resulting penalties. BF7s must do better against the stronger countries, but that will be difficult with so many of the experienced, better players not there due to injury.

BF7s v Russia is about to start.

Damn, another try to the Russians. As soon as the squad was named, I knew this leg of the series was going to be difficult.
I hope the BFs won't miss out of the Cup QF; they still have to play France, that beat Russia earlier.10 - 5 Russia with 4.20 minutes to go.

@Machpants It was to be expected, with so many of the experienced players ruled out. No Michaela Blyde, Kelly Brazier, Gayle Broughton, Theresa Fitzpatrick, Kat Whata-Simpkins and Portia Woodman.

@Stargazer That's a good point, I don't know the players - just thought that lot weren't upto the normal standard!

Just checked, and the BF7s lost big against France: 7 - 29. I was afraid of that with all the rookies in the squad and half the regulars in the injury ward.
Still made the Cup QFs. The BF7s will play the USA at 1.52pm tomorrow.
Australia, England and France are all on the other side of the draw (with Ireland).
On our side are further Canada and Russia. -

BF7's had one of their worst tournaments in ages. Lost heavily to France, drew with Russia, beat Japan, then lost to USA in quarter final.

Given they hadn't lost a game since the Olympic final in 2016 ... yep
