The Black Ferns break blind and Ireland rob them. they kick the ball out and it is half time. This game is insanely quick and neither team look like letting up. We are in for a cracker of a second half.
Penalty to NZ with seconds left and they look for a try. Line out drive set up and they are 5m out. Molloy offside and NZ set up again
Huge work in the tight phases around the ruck and a well deserved try for Ireland as O'Brien grounds the ball on the left hand post
Ireland 12 phases in and have the penalty advantage as they drive it up. 5m out
Briggs enters the line from depth and puts through a little grubber kick which is shepherded into touch. Defensive line out for NZ 5m off their line
Another massive hit by the Black Ferns
Slight break as Nelson gets her head bandaged up after a knock
Another great flat pass is penalised for being forward.
In true Kiwi fashion they get a turnover and send the ball wide. The counter attack is deadly and quick hands create a huge overlap as they finish with a 3 on 1 to allow Winiata to score
Molloy ignores the 'gate' when entering that ruck and NZ could take the lead
