Black Ferns assistant coach demanding a more consistent defensive display

Black Ferns assistant coach Tony Christie is demanding a more consistent defensive display - despite conceding just the one try in their first test of the PAC-4 Championship

19 May 2024

New Zealand host Canada in Christchurch this afternoon - on the back of their 57-5 win over the United States in Hamilton.

Christie - who looks after the defence portfolio - says they measure success in that area beyond the score-sheet.

Kickoff is at 4:35.
