    The Black Ferns are running away with it in the second half of their last test before the Rugby World Cup

    The Black Ferns are running away with it in the second half of their last test before the Rugby World Cup


    Australia led for much of the first half in Wellington ... before birthday girl Portia Woodman-Wickliffe scored her second try to give New Zealand a 10-7 halftime advantage.

    Then the floodgates opened ... Woodman-Wickliffe scored her hat-trick and co-captain Ruahei Demant, openside Jorja Miller and midfielder Sylvia Brunt have also grabbed five-pointers.

    Ruby Tui's on ... with 10 to go, it's the Black Ferns 32, the Wallaroos 7.
