From the looks of the opening days of the World Cup, the stronger nations of Great Britain, NZ and Australia are giving the lesser nations a bit of a touch-up. The Womens RL is very closely matched but I see the Kiwi Ferns winning the World CUp through crowd support, home ground advantage and the sheer size of the girls. Alhtough I hope I am wrong and Australia shows everyone that we are the best rugby league nation in the world.

You certainly picked it. It will be an all New Zealand Womens Rugby League World Cup final. The New Zealand Kiwi Ferns, who have not lost a match all tournament, had no trouble defeating Great Britain, (who they faced in the 2000 Women’s World Cup final in England), winning 38 – 0.
The Maori had a harder time in defeating the Australian Jillaroos which lead 4 – 0 at half time, before the home team scored 2 unanswered tries for a 12 – 4 win.
