Heartbreak for the Black Ferns in their Rugby World Cup semi-final with Canada in Bristol.
The defending champions have been outplayed 34-19, after trailing 24-7 at the break.
Their defeat has been chalked up to poor discipline, the team unable to win a penalty of their own until the 61st minute.
Coach Allan Bunting told Piney they can’t fault the players, who kept trying and certainly didn’t give in.
“Once we got down on the half and got our game going, we were pretty hard to stop, but in the start we didn’t get down there enough.”
