It's three in a row for New Zealand this season as they add another trophy to their cabinet, and that means they have an 8-point lead on the Women's SVNS table with ahead of the Singapore SVNS next weekend! Australia sit in second on that table as they take the silver from Hong Kong.
Australia were completely stifled for most of that second half, unable to string more than a handful of phases together before New Zealand managed to force turnover ball. The Aussies were only able to get onto the board with the clock already in the red, and by that point it didn't matter what they did as the game was already going to the Kiwis.
It was all square at halftime, but New Zealand with a stunning second half pulled away quickly to put the game out of reach of the Aussies. They scored two tries after the break in quick succession, shutting Australia out with some huge defence that forced turnover ball a few times to break any momentum their rivals were trying to build.

Tap and go! Infield from Australia where they slow it down before Nicholas flicks it out the back to Davis who sprints straight through the gap and over for the try!

Clock in the red here! Levi pops it off the top of the lineout, and quick hands infield and out to the right wing they go to Nicholas who is pulled down 8 short. Penalty on the floor for Australia.
14'
Scrum called! They pop it out to the right where they drive up into the 22 through Teneti. Shift back on the inside where they are driven back after a messy pass. Miller with the burst up the right wing, but the ball comes loose in the offload and it's Levi who sprints away! She's got three coming across at her, so she toes it through to chase, but Brake gets there first and manages to toe it into touch just short of the corner flag.
