The Wallaroos playing Ireland at Kingspan in Belfast on September 14 hasn't been mentioned here. But great to see at least one more extra game for the girls. Though I do have a gripe with it as I'll being flying back to Sydney the day before. Definitely would have made the trip up north for that one.

Scoreboard ahead of the clock ~25 minutes in at FMG & Paul has a hat-trick already.

Edit: now Vaipulu gets her name on the score sheet. This could get ugly after HT.

and like the locust that is DV rugby - it spreads to the women's game...

NZ in serious danger* of a first-ever defeat to Canada.

*Edit: If that try stands it's all but certain.

What a farce: try awarded, conversion taken & now TMO jumps in. Try overturned which is the correct call but very messy.

Canada hang on for the W which not only wins them the Pac4 but also makes them no. 2 in the WR (World Rugby) rankings.
