New Zealand Push Clear In Second Half Against Ireland Women

New Zealand Push Clear In Second Half Against Ireland Women

The Ireland Women (sponsored by TritonLake) were held scoreless by defending champions New Zealand who reached the semi-final stage thanks to a 28-0 win in Cape Town.

It was damp underfoot and Ireland were left to rue missed tackles and some costly penalties as the Black Ferns Sevens stayed on course to retain the Rugby World Cup Sevens title.

Fiji are Ireland’s next opponents as they enter the 5th-8th place bracket. The game takes place tomorrow at 10.40am local time/9.40am Irish time, with the winners taking on either England or Canada.

All of Ireland’s games are live on the RTÉ Player in the Republic of Ireland, while there will be coverage across Irish Rugby social media channels and on IrishRugby.ie. A full list of broadcasters is available here.

The Ireland Men’s and Women’s Sevens teams are wearing their brand new Canterbury kit for the World Cup in Cape Town. Click here to buy the new jerseys online from Intersport Elverys.
