From Morning Report, 7:52 am on 31 October 2022

The Black Ferns will play France in the semifinals of the women's Rugby World Cup after a dominant victory over Wales on Saturday night.

A big crowd turned out in Whangarei to watch the team's 55-3 win, which included the 19th and 20th World Cup tries of Portia Woodman's career, making her the record holder in World Cup rugby.

Turning her attention to France, Woodman said the team is in better shape than when they lost twice to France at the end of last year.

Rugby commentator and author Scotty Stevenson was in Te Tai Tokerau to watch the game on Saturday.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
