England may have won the Cricket World Cup but they were no match for New Zealand's Black Ferns in the Women's Rugby Super Series.
The national women's rugby team, lead by Tauranga's Les Elder and boosted by Bay team members Kelly Brazier, Luka Connor, Karli Faneva and Renee Wickliffe, beat England 28-13 in San Diego on Monday morning (NZT) to win the series.
Three of those tries came from hat trick-producing Wickliffe, who said it was the team that helped her over the line during Monday morning's match.
"Throughout the whole 80 everybody was just on, that was some good footy out there that we displayed," Wickliffe said.
She said England was a top team and the team expected a tough match.
