With the hooter having sounded and camped in the corner looking for their fifth maul try, England couldn’t corral the lineout and the Black Ferns emerged triumphant. That cut England’s edge to seven and what must have been a straightforward halftime message was put into practice immediately after the break as the Black Ferns found their first lead.
