The Black Ferns are coming to terms with their eight year reign as world champions being over. 

They've been stunned by Canada 34-19 in their World Cup semi-final in Bristol. 

Canada raced out the gates with three tries in the opening 25 minutes and led 24-7 at half-time. 

Former Black Ferns Captain and Sky Sport Commentator Les Elder told Piney Canada not only outplayed us, but we were also outcoached. 

“Everything that you’d expect from the Black Ferns, they cancelled it out, and then they executed on their side of the ball.”
