Australia's rugby sevens team thumped by New Zealand 34-10 in Vancouver sevens semifinal

ABC  

Australia's women have suffered a 34-10 semifinal loss to New Zealand to end their title hopes in the SVNS world series tournament in Vancouver. The Australians never recovered after conceding two tries in the opening two minutes to New Zealand's cross-code star Stacey Waaka, the former rugby league international who has also represented her nation in 15-a-side union. Charlotte Caslick scored Australia's sole try in the opening half, and Faith Nathan crossed for a second-half consolation try. Led by dual Olympic gold medallist Waaka, who finished with three tries, and a two-try display from speedster Risi Pouri-Lane, the Black Ferns cruised into the final, where they will meet the winner of the other semifinal between Japan and Fiji.
