The Black Ferns will hang onto the prestigious Laurie O’Reilly Cup for another year after recording an utterly dominant win over traditional rivals the Wallaroos.
The six teams have been named ahead of the first round of WXV 1 in Wellington. All matches will be played at Sky Stadium, kicking off with England vs Australia on Friday 20th October. On Saturday 21st October Canada will face Wales before home side New Zealand take on France in a RWC2021 semi-final rematch.
The Wallabies look like they are likely to be without star tighthead Taniela Tupou - who according to the Sydney Morning Herald, is losing a race against time to make the first Test against England next weekend.
Black Ferns Sevens star Ruby Tui has been named as one of seven players to make their test debuts for the Black Ferns against the Wallaroos on Monday.
