The superstar centre produced two pieces of brilliance on Saturday including the 75th-minute match winner to get the world champions home against an injury-hit and gallant Kiwi Ferns at Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium. The Jillaroos were forced into a last-minute backline reshuffle after losing Jess Sergis (knee) but still looked crisp. The Kiwi Ferns were often their own worst enemies but managed to get on the board before the break when Raecene McGregor lofted the ball out to Langi Veainu. "We can say it's one that got away," Kiwi Ferns coach Kelvin Wright said.
