2018-2019 World Sevens Series

Wow, Australia lost the Cup QF to Spain! (14 - 15)

NZ will play Canada - never an easy opponent - in the SF. Kick-off 1.13am.

The other SF is between Spain and the USA.

This is Sarah Hirini's 200th World Series game; the first woman to reach 200th games.

Very patient build-up from the BFs; try Saili.

7 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Hot knife through butter. That's what Nathan-Wong was to the Canadian defence. Great try.

14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

After playing for more than a minute with 6 players - Williams being treated for an injury - the Ferns can no longer stop the Canadians from scoring.

HT: NZ 14 - 7 Canada

[Stargazer]

I love how calm these players are. Just keep on passing and tackling, patiently looking around for that space.

Try Tui.

21 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Good try for Canada, but Nathan-Wong forces the Canadian player to dot down in the corner. Result: missed conversion.

21 - 12 NZ

Final play.

The Black Ferns 7s didn't win the tournament - going down 10 - 26 to the USA in the Final - but they are the 2019 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series Champions after winning 4 of the 6 legs of the Series and finishing 2nd in the last tournament. Well done, ladies!
