Coach Glenn Moore has named an unchanged starting XV with two changes on the bench. Moore said the team had come through their pool play matches well and were ready for the semifinal match against a tough USA side. The Black Ferns will wear black armbands during the match to honour rugby legend Sir Colin Meads who sadly passed away at the weekend.
