TRY KIWIS! 

Half back Anderson finishes off some enterprising play from the Ferns. Kani makes a mini break down the right, she gets it away to the hooker Rota, she passes to centre Feterika and finds Anderson in support, who finishes off a nice team try.

 TRY KIWIS!

That Ferns right edge is causing PNG a lot of headaches. They go that way again, with the two halves combining to put winger Tupaea over for her second try of the tournament.

TRY FERNS!

The Kiwis spread it right with some deft passing, catching the PNG defence off guard and creating enough space for Kani to slice through on the right edge and score.

PNG are throwing everything they have at the Kiwis but they haven’t been able to deliver that killer blow in attack. After some enterprising play they are caught with the ball on the 5th with the tryline metres away.
