New Zealand defeated the USA 39-17 to win the Pacific Four series title for the second year in a row.

The USA started strong and led 17-5 at halftime, but the Black Ferns stepped up their game in the second half.

“It was a real tough game but we found a way,” said Mayakavanakulani Rose, who at 21 made history as the youngest ever Black Ferns captain.

Canada beat Australia 45-7 to clinch second place in the series.

Tyson Buickbaum scored a hat-trick for the hosts, making his 60th appearance for Canada.

“It’s an honor to be able to wear that jersey in the first place, let alone 60 times,” Buickbaum said.

“And to be able to do it in front of that crowd and score three tries, which I’ve never done and probably will never do again, is pretty exciting.”
