Pacific Four women’s rugby series opens with heavy scorelineNew Zealand have now won 24 straight against Australia
The Wallaroos have been no match for world champions New Zealand, crashing to a 50-0 loss to open their Pacific Four women’s rugby series campaign. Any hopes that the Australians were bridging the gap on their trans-Tasman rivals was erased early at Brisbane’s Kayo Stadium on Thursday night with the visitors dominating every aspect of play.
The tournament also involves Canada and the USA, who the Wallaroos face next with two games in Ottawa. They could be without exciting young fullback Faitala Moleka, with the 18-year-old suffering a leg injury while attempting to stop Alana Bremner’s 74th minute try.
