Wing Portia Woodman scored a brace of tries as holders New Zealand breezed into the semi-finals of the women's Rugby World Cup with a 55-3 thrashing of Wales at Whangarei's Northland Events Centre on Saturday.
Five-time champions New Zealand have reached a seventh semi-final in the eight competitions they have played and will face France next Saturday after the latter also completed a comprehensive 39-3 victory over Italy.
Fullback Ruby Tui, flankers Sarah Hirini and Alana Bremner, prop Amy Rule, hooker Luka Connor and flyhalf Ruahei Demant also crossed for tries for the home side, who are seeking their sixth title in the last seven World Cups. New Zealand defeated Wales 56-12 in the pool stage and this contest was essentially over by the half-hour mark as the hosts scored three tries for a 19-3 lead, with Wales battling to get out of their own half, a pattern that continued into the second period.
Wales barely threatened the home team’s tryline as New Zealand kept up the pressure with ball in hand and completed a nine-try romp.
