The sevens players in this BFs team seem to have made the transition smoothly. They've only been with the squad for a month or so, but they're going very well.
Great try Cocksedge under the sticks. She converts her own try: 34-5 to NZ after 37 minutes.

@Stargazer said in 2017 Black Ferns (including World Cup):
Hail in Chch! Awful weather.
Haha, a real weather bomb. The match would have kicked off in sunshine and warm weather, now its bordering on freezing and hailing.
Not looking forward to the bike home from work

@SammyC It seems to be getting worse, too. That won't be a pleasant ride home for you. I remember biking in European winter weather; needed a long hot shower to feel human again afterwards. There may have been hot wine, too. Lots of it, probably.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players (from the Northern parts of the N Island and the Aussies) have never played in these conditions or have even experienced hail before.

Try Aussies (Cheyenne Campbell); the result of a sloppy pass from Subritzky-Nafatali that was intercepted, some hasty defence in which the BFs gave away too many penalties. Converted.
39-12 NZ.
And more penalties. BFs must watch out or they'll lose a player to the bin.
