Fantastic win... the focus on defense has been the difference. Really proud of the girls and to do it without Madi for most of the tournament just proved the point that we are good enough. Always a great game against our sisters across the sea. Congrats on a great season Kiwis
Congrats Aussie girls. Did us proud and not just winners but world champions.
As a Kiwi naturally disappointed but Ozzie’s defence was just to good. Congrats OZ
The absence of Stacy Waaka was felt. She holds the team together and her isolation of Levi has been excellent all year.
Black Ferns have already won 9 series and the Mens 14 times - you can have this wee one.
To beat NZ any time is rare,but this was extra special ❤🇦🇺
The black ferns tackling is ridiculous all throughout the series. They run right behind another player and don't dive tackle them, they just watch them run and get a try. what on earth.
A couple girls in the NZ team joking around, over celebrating tries during games disrespecting there opponents has led to there demise. The girls had the side to win this comp easy. Stay off social media and focus on the tournament. Celebrate after the whole thing because winning stages doesn't really count. Ask the Aussie girls they'll tell you!!
Tough for the ferns fall at the final two hurdles when the championship was looking theirs not too long ago.
Damn black ferns ain’t untouchable anymore
Aussie covered Miller well and give her space. They were right up in the tackles and the Kiwis faces. Great defence game is a great World Cup win.
Great season both teams! Thanks for the entertainment!
Well done Aussie totally deserved 👏👏👏👏👏 the 15s men and women’s teams need to watch this game !!!!! New Zealand bit flat it’s been along season safe trip home ladies lots of Aroha ❤❤❤🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
OMG AUSSIE GIRLS WON IT ALL
Ggs aus. We were seriously looking really bad in defence in the build up to the final. Maybe the short turnaround was a bit much for our girls. But it was the same for the other teams too. Missed Waaka out there. Gameplan is pretty much give Jorja the ball and see what happens.
Fabulous.
The sisterhood is worldwide kiwis. Two weeks in a row. Well done Aussie, The best team won because well they’re better.🎉
A great game! Women's rugby has interested me in the sport. I appreciate and respect the sweat, grime, determination, and effort of all these women players. All women rugby players show men and women around the world that women display that sweat, grime, determination, and effort are not proprietary to men alone. Women's rugby is helping bring more respect and dignity to all women all over the world. So thank you to all the women who participate in rugby. You are changing the world for the better. Through you, women are gaining more respect and dignity, and that is a win for us all. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
It's weird to have a highlights package and then cut out the last (Aussie) try? C'mon now.
Congrats Aussie.. man did we miss Mahina Paul.....
