The world champions heaped more misery on the Wallaroos when a fortunate bounce off a Renee Holmes kick finished with the ball in Ruby Tui’s hands for the star winger to dive over. Vaha’akolo picked up her first try when a Sylvia Brunt grubber sat up just before the line. She broke two Wallaroos’ tackles to touch down for another just before half-time.
The Wallaroos thought they had responded with a stunning solo try from Eva Karpani but replays showed that the ball had been held up as the Black Ferns took a commanding 29-0 lead into the break. Vaha’akolo added a third try when breaking the line to finish under the posts just two minutes after the resumption, then Brunt went solo to get on the end of her own kick shortly after. Vaha’akolo was on the end of another superb move as the Wallaroos’ resistance gradually gave way, while Atlanta Lolohea capped off a dream debut when scoring off a rolling maul before playing a key role in a penalty try after the final whistle.
