It's just over two weeks to kick-off in the Women's Rugby World Cup - delayed of course from last year thanks to Covid.
The team will play a warm-up test match this weekend against Japan at Eden Park, before they face Australia on October 8 in their first pool match.
So what does it take to get the players World Cup-ready? Amanda Murphy is the Black Ferns' strength and conditioning coach.
