Another canter for Black Ferns

New Zealand continued to flex their muscle at the women's rugby World Cup in Canada today.

The Black Ferns swept aside Samoa 50-0 in St Albert, Canada, for their second easy win as they strive to secure their third successive world title.

The New Zealanders, who opened their campaign with a 66-7 win over Canada last Friday, were always expected to be too strong for Samoa.

The result was never in doubt after New Zealand led 29-0 at halftime.

In another match today, the United States beat Ireland 24-11.

New Zealand 50 (Amiria Marsh 3, Victoria Blackledge, Rochelle Martin, Rachel Makata, Melissa Ruscoe, Anna Richards tries; Emma Jensen 3 con, Hannah Myers 2 con)

Samoa 0

Halftime: 29-0
