NEW ZEALAND PRODUCED a stunning second-half performance to beat England 41-32 and lift the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup in Belfast last night.
Trailing 17-10 at half-time, the Black Ferns were irresistible after the break, scoring five tries at the Kingspan Stadium to go with their two from the first period as they dethroned the defending champions.

What a game, what an atmosphere and what an occasion.
