Reigning champions New Zealand will face Canada in the last four of the Women’s Rugby World Cup after the two nations enjoyed contrasting quarterfinal wins on Saturday.
-
New Zealand, the record six-time World Cup winners and unbeaten at the tournament since 2014, were given a scare by a South Africa side appearing in their first quarterfinal as the Springboks defied all pre-match expectations to be level at 10-10 come halftime.
The Black Ferns replied with 29 unanswered points in a match they eventually won 46-17 in Exeter.
New Zealand captain Ruahei Demant admitted the team had been on the receiving end of some strong words at the interval.
