The Black Ferns have hammered Australia in their final Pacific Four test and opening O'Reilly Cup match - and after making a raft of changes to their matchday 23.
It comes after Canada claimed their first win over the Black Ferns last weekend in Christchurch, taking the Pacific Four Series title off the defending champions and leap-frogging New Zealand to second in the world rankings behind England.
