Download Women's Rugby World Cup: New Zealand thrash Ireland

Ugo Monye, Sara Orchard, Black Ferns World Cup winner Ruby Tui, 2014 World Cup winner Katy Daly-McClean and former Ireland backrower Anna Caplice are in Brighton as New Zealand thrash Ireland 40-0. Teenage wing Braxton Sorensen-McGee scored a hat-trick of tries in a ruthless display to set up a quarter-final against South Africa.

Anna talks why Ireland just couldn’t get into their flow and where they go from here as they face France next. The team also reflect on the whole weekend including where England need to improve as we enter the knockouts, plus Fijis huge win over Wales.
